Deja vu - what does it signify?

You know those times when you feel you've been there before or someone has said that before? When you know for a fact that it hasn't happened before? Those weird feelings of reliving a life that already existed. For Viv DuLac in my new historical (early medieval) time-slip romance, A Shape on the Air (Endeavour Press), maybe she has been there before ... ? Go to http://www.juliaibbotsonauthor.com

Authors love reviews!

I'd like to invite folks to write a brief review of any of my books they fancy. Authors are always really grateful if readers do this, and often copy/paste them onto their facebook posts! I've now written four books: The Old Rectory: Escape to a Country Kitchen ( a memoir about renovating a Victorian rectory in the heart of the English countryside - with yummy and historical recipes!); Drumbeats and Walking in the Rain (the first two of the Drumbeats trilogy) following Jess from 1960s Ghana to millennium England; and S.C.A.R.S a children's book (9-14) about a troubled boy who slips into a fantasy medieval world. My new book, A Shape on the Air, is an adult historical time-slip into the Dark Ages. It's magical and mystical and there's a mystery to solve and a home to save.
I've now captured my direction as a writer. With a love of history and specialising in medieval language and literature, I am now focusing on historical time-slip (both adult romance and children's adventure). My work will be focused on the medieval period, both the early Dark Ages and the Anglo-Saxon period.
I do hope you will like my books and if you do, it would warm my heart if you could post a review! Many thanks.
