About the Book:
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.

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.

From his expression, the explanation puzzled him.
“Do they not have candle clocks in this Greenland you claim you’re
from?”

“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?”
“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.”
About the Author:
I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was ahistory 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.
