A Joseph Store - ever heard of it?
Ever heard of a Joseph store? If you’re familiar with the Old Testament you might now be able to make a guess. I’ve included the idea in my work-in-progress. Here’s the excerpt explaining it:
“A Joseph Store works on the basis of every time you go food shopping, you put one item away for a rainy day, and only when you have enough for a week stashed away are you allowed to use up the oldest items. You go on replacing them –”
“Ad infinitum,” interrupted Liberty, catching on to what she declared was a brilliant idea. And then, if you get low on money, you’ve got some reserves – it’s like money in the bank. Was Joseph someone in your family?”
“It refers to Joseph, Jacob’s favourite son. You know, the one who was given a coat of many colours and was sold by his brothers into slavery. He stored up food before a famine. It’s in the Old Testament.”
“Ah,” said Liberty, none the wiser.
When I wrote these words, there was no war, no inflation crisis and no food shortages. Now it seems worth letting them be seen even before I publish.

And here’s a review from Goodreads member, Kevin Marsh:
What a beautifully written book. I instantly fell in love with the characters and cared about what happened to them. I loved the history, the little gems of information which sent me off to research further and the concept of the story. I found it believable even though it’s a work of imagination and fiction. Hide in Time is a must read for all those looking for a well written book in which to lose oneself. Highly recommended.
You might like to grab a copy now because my soon-to-be-published book is also a Time Travel Romance and it starts in that same little office in Middleston where Hide in Time begins. As to where it ends up – things don’t go as planned.
