Exclusive: Unveiling the Cover of our Exciting New upcoming Book Release!

This is the 2nd in The Library of Time series--Teaser from back of the book:

“Who you are is yet to be revealed…” Diva intoned.

Sam’s long absence from the library and 2324 Edge, is worrying Annie, and when she discovers a cryptic message from him, she panics. A book in the stacks contains one word sent from the past. HELP. And when the ‘library of time’ provides a door, she doesn’t hesitate to walk through.

The 1300’s are not what she expected, nor is Sam.  His involvement in a long ago uprising to crown Robert the Bruce king of Scotland has taken over his common sense, and he will not be dissuaded. Not only is this war hundreds of years in the past, Annie is also afraid that Sam will end up dead.

But what finally sends Annie packing is Sam’s dalliance with the barmaid at the Inn where they are staying. A trip from there to see Sam’s mother further complicates things. Constance is about to give birth to Sam. And if the current Sam dies before the baby is born, everything in the future will change.

Sam and Annie might never meet.

BOOK REVIEWS

It is January. Cold outside in most places. And in some there is ice on the roads and sidewalks--(Oregon where I live) Can't get to work? There is always zoom, unless you are in retail or your internet went down. And if that's the case, what better time to read?

A few suggestions from my latest list:

STARLING HOUSE by Alix Harrow--she is the author of THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY and THE ONCE AND FUTURE WITCHES. Whenever I see a new book of hers I grab it. And this one does not disappoint. I'm not that far in yet, but if you like tales about houses that may or may not be sentient, magic and strange characters, you will like this one. And she's a really good writer.

Anything by V.E. Schwab--fantasy at its best and good writing and very unusual stories that you wish would never end.

THE FOUR WINDS by Kristin Hannah. And any other books by her. Literary love story that takes place in 1921--good good writing.

And of course I have to add my latest novel: THE LIBRARY OF TIME. If you are a Dr. Who fan, think Tardis. It is a time-travel/mystery/romance that takes place in 2323. (at least for part of it)

Winter is coming...

Is that a line from The Game of Thrones? I stopped reading after the characters I fell in love with were all killed off. What author does that? He does, I guess. Not me. I've had characters die but then they are resurrected...guess killing them off was a success, but I grow too attached to them to do it. (even the bad ones)

I just published The Library of Time. If you are so inclined it will be .99 thru the holidays. I have had good success with it so far due to the BookBub ad I used to launch. I highly recommend doing the 'new release for less'. Expensive but worth it.

The title relates to the darkness as a good time to snuggle in and read. A fire, a cup of tea, mulled wine or a hot toddy and a good book. There are so many out there! For me it means working on the sequel to 'Library'...not sure of the title yet.

Today is the new moon in Scorpio and what I've read about it says it's a time of profound emotional transformation--a time to restart something you may have been putting off...and a need for revision. I restarted this 2nd book, beginning with a door. I have yet to know where this book is heading other than into the 14th century...Celtic history related to the time of Robert the Bruce and the battles to take Scotland. And of course Romance with a large R. A lot of research is needed to continue with the storyline which has barely touched on what life was like back then. I enjoy research as long as it doesn't get tedious.

The reason I've been so remiss on this blog is that I am writing on Medium and on Substack these days--political mostly. But if you're interested I'm including the urls where you can reach me.

Enjoy the hibernating time and try not to get too caught up in the frenzy of gift giving and the feelings of guilt and exhaustion that accompany this cultures response to the 'Holy Days'. I say this because I tend to do just that...this year we are living in a place where we might have snow! I look forward to the cold and a real fire in our fireplace! (and a good book)

thanks for reading...
