Hello, Chris, congratulations on the release of your historical romance! Let's hear a little about In Time for You.
-->
While horseback riding in the English countryside, sisters, Electra and
Emily Crippen find themselves trapped in a tear in time. Thrown back to 1357
England and caught by a local noble, they are in a place that is home but as
frightening and unfamiliar as an alien world would be. With no idea how the
tear in time came about, the one thing they do know is: they must stay together
and stay near to where the event took place in hopes of discovering the way
back to their modern life. That certain need to stay together is the first
certainty taken from them when one sister is forced to remain in England and
one is sent miles away to Wales by royal order.
There is
one other hope for help the sisters don’t know exists. It’s Electra’s lover,
Roger Marchand. A time traveler himself, he never told her of his past. When he
realizes what has happened to the sisters, he enlists the help of a scientist
friend to help him open the suspected passageway through time. Any effort to
save Electra and Emily will likely cost him his life. This was the time Roger
came from, a time when his country, France, was at war with England. If he is
discovered on English soil while searching for the sisters, he will either be
killed or taken prisoner of war. Any risk is worth saving the life of the woman
he loves.
This sounds really interesting. I love time travel stories. Now for an excerpt:
-->
While she ate, the button on Electra's sleeve fell
out of the frog loop. She didn't hook the button again, reaching for her wine
instead. The sleeve pulled back from her wrist to expose her watch, which she
hadn't thought to remove.
"What is that?" Simon asked and pointed
to her Seiko.
"A watch." What a bizarre question. There
wasn't a corner of the planet that people didn't recognize a wristwatch.
A frown slowly formed and he stretched across Emily
and took hold of Electra's hand to tug it toward him for a better look. He
turned her hand over and in a matter of seconds had the clasp undone.
He brought the candle in front of his trencher
closer and held the watch under it. "What do the numbers mean?"
"It's a clock, a miniature timepiece you wear
on your wrist."
From his expression, the explanation puzzled him.
"Do they not have candle clocks in this Greenland you claim you're
from?"
How to explain the abundance of various clocks to a
man who apparently has no context for the anything beyond a candle clock or
similar ancient means of telling time?
"Are you saying you've never seen a
clock?" Emily asked.
"One like this? No, I have not."
Emily bent her head nearer Electra and whispered, "Are
you thinking what I am?"
"Sadly, yes."
Simon ran his finger over the watch face.
"These small digits, what is their meaning?"
"It's the date and year: 5.14.15."
He shook his head. "What year is 15?"
"2015, of course."
"You are mad. It's the year of our Lord,
1357."
AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
I
was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history professor and my mother
was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books.
My
parents also love traveling, a passion they passed onto me. I wanted to see the
places I read about, see the land and monuments from the time periods that
fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively throughout
Europe, the Near East, and North Africa.
I
am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five years in law enforcement
with two different agencies. My desire to write came in my early teens. After I
retired, I decided to pursue that dream. I write three different series. My
paranormal romance series is called, Knights in Time. My romantic thriller
series is Dangerous Waters. The newest is The Bloodstone Series. Each series
has a different setting and some cross time periods, which I find fun to write.
I
currently live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband and five wild and crazy
rescue dogs.
