Christine began writing at a very young age, penning and illustrating picture books at age 9. In school, she could be found sitting in the back of the class, writing short stories (she aced English and literature). By 1992 she was professionally published in both nonfiction and short stories. In 1998 her first book was traditionally published, which led to many more book deals.

Meirah was trying, she had studied Scottish culture, those who spoke with accents closest to her own alternative dimension dialect. She had adapted, evolved, all in the name of her love for Dane. But he was conflicted, he loved her, but he loved the new peace he was being granted when intoxicated, the closest to heaven he could imagine being. Peace, women, and sex. He had his vices, brought about by his rock star life, but Meirah too had a weakness she couldn't shake, where Dane stood, she wished it had been her knight, Sir Kori, a previous incarnation of her lover, and her current state of mind was making the call of human blood almost impossible to ignore. A reflection in the water warns of the return of a danger thought passed, and a betrayal leaves Meirah more vulnerable than ever. Will she come to her senses and see the truth, or will her recent heartbreak leave her open to manipulation?
Beyond a Veiled Reflection is the second book in Christine Church's Anachronistic Dimensions, urban fantasy series. With clearly labelled alternating perspectives from the main characters, Meirah, Dane, Kaeplan and Caitlyn, it is easy to get insight into their personalities, thinking, and motivations. Nothing is certain, and danger and depravity is paramount. Betrayal, heartache, manipulation, and dangerous revelations will keep you turning the pages of this unique novel. While vampirism is central the author introduces an alternative mythos which I have only seen a handful of times, and has been well implemented with some unique interested alterations. A good read, with some brutal physical and emotional; scenes.
What a story. After I finished it i had to take a few days to process. I have never cried at a book as many times as this one. Always when things seem hopeless they come together. I cannot wait for the next book. I absolutely love Dane and Meirah.
Beyond A Veiled Reflection (Anachronistic Dimensions Book 2) by Christine Church takes us on a journey into a different dimension. Famous rock-star Dane and his beautiful wife Meirah are from two totally different worlds and yet their love has transcended time, incarnations and differing dimensions. After Dane and Meirah were first finally united in the dimension of Mikaire, life as husband and wife, on earth, has been wonderful. But, danger lurks in the form of someone they thought was long gone and destroyed. Meirah’s former betrothed, Kaeplan, is still alive and still planning to have Meirah as his Queen and bride, in his newly created dimension of Almareyah. It is the drinking of Dane’s blood that can give Kaeplan unlimited wizard powers to change time, to change dimensions and to ensure Meirah’s obedience and subservience to him. Dane and Meirah are in a race against time to defeat Kaeplan before he succeeds in his evil intents.
Although Beyond a Veiled Reflection (Anachronistic Dimensions Book 2) is the second book in this series, it stands alone and you definitely do not have to have read the first story to enjoy the second. Author Christine Church does a superb job of dropping in relevant information to allow you to understand how the characters ended up where they are. A cross between Science Fiction and Fantasy, this story captured my imagination from the very beginning. The idea of an eternal love that crosses time, lives, and dimensions, I found immensely appealing and in this author’s skilled hands, was an excellent and satisfying story. The three main characters were all sharply drawn almost to the point of caricature; the self-indulgent, slightly destructive, rock-star; the evil and lacking any humanity, wizard; and, of course, the beautiful woman who would not let go of a love that had spanned generations and dimensions. Yet, the author still managed to skilfully weave a wonderful story full of excitement, action, and heart-felt romance. The litmus test for any story in a series is; “would I read the next instalment?” In the case of this book, the answer is a resounding YES! This is a great read and one I highly recommend to fans of the genre.
Better than the first, and the first was fantastic. You get drawn in on page one and this story just won't let you go. A new dimension is introduced, a new wizard, and an enemy with powers who promises to make life for our hero and heroine very difficult. I can't wait until the next book in this series, it just keeps getting better and better.
