Blurb:
In 2018, Tamara is dumped by her arrogant husband, travels to Cornwall, England and researches her ancestors. In a neglected cemetery, she scrapes two fallen headstones together trying to read the one beneath, faints, and wakes up in 1789, the year of The French Revolution, and grain riots in England. Young Farmer Colum Polwhele comes to her aid. Can a sassy San Francisco gal survive in this primitive time and fall for Colum, a man active in underhanded dealings or will she struggle to return to her own time?
Behind the Scene:
I've always wondered how I'd react if I accidentally "fell" into the past. Here's an excerpt.
Transported to another century wasn’t possible. A fantasy! Tamara knuckled her chest to slow her breathing. “I might have fallen down the rabbit hole.”Author Bio:
“You injured yourself in a hole?” Colum shook his head slowly. “Where are you really from? You do speak an’ behave oddly. Lew thinks you’re a spy; an’ now I’m wonderin’ if you work for Mr. Arthur.” He scrutinized her closely.
“A spy?” She moaned at another layer of insanity. A thief, a spy, and what had Arthur called her, a Bedlamite? “A spy for what? I thought our countries were close allies?”
But not in the past! She almost tripped off the step.
“If you were a spy, you’d already know what for. But spies be good at pretendin’.” His eyes sparked, he leaned nearer. “Or lyin’ if it be needed.”
He didn’t trust her, and she couldn’t blame him.
