"When a book allows me to become one of the characters....aahhhh, perfection!" Louisa on Goodreads


On your death bed, they say it's not the things you've done that you regret most, but the things you've left undone.

In 1814 Laura misjudges the man she loves and storms off from him only to discover that she's made a terrible mistake. She longs to put it right but finds herself in the 21st century and unable to do so. Or can she?

Laura risks her life to restore happiness to the man she has so badly misjudged and in doing so she frees herself from the destructive regret lingering in her life. And throughout, love patiently waits for her.

Oh cool!

Got it! Thank you.

This looks brilliant, Groovy, and I hope there'll be a reduction in the UK too.

You sure have started something, Orinoco! Well done.

Currently #1 in the .com Amazon Romance Time Travel chart (as at 14/15th September, hopefully longer!) 99c/99p

Have you ever regretted something and wished you could put it right? Laura has and she did, even though she had to put her life at risk to travel back to the time when she misjudged the man she loved.

As one 5* reviewer said, Hide in Time is "Part time travel, part historical romance, part mystery, this was a very enjoyable read".

If you like tales of shipwrecks, highwaymen, and family feuds, then you might like Hide in Time.

Hide in Time is $US0.99 or 99p Last Day of Sale Monday 11th July

Hide in Time is about Laura who finds herself washed up from a shipwreck early in the 21st century - she'd stormed off from her betrothed in 1814 so she's somewhat confused as to how this could happen. She likes her new life but she realizes she has made a horrible mistake.

Meanwhile, Xandra even hates her name as well as all the other bothersome things of modern day life and Laura happens to notice this. Could she...? Yep, she could, and she does. Back goes Xandra to 1814 only to be met with suspicious travelling companions, a highwayman and a delicious man who is still mourning the death of the girl he loved

How do these two cope with their puzzling new lives? And how does Laura manage not to upset the course of history despite her meddling? And oh boy can she meddle!

Oh Groovy, you do make me laugh! Thank you.

Happy New Year and my wish for you is that you'll choose books you'll love, one after the other and all the time!

Nice one, Groovy. I remember the first time I was asked to do an interview and it felt just like the first time I had ever been asked to dance. I remember the feeling when someone picked me out on the dance floor and asked. When a blogger asked me for an interview, I went through the same thought process - who? Me? Um... should I? What if? And then a tense feeling of am I good enough? (To dance or to do an interesting interview.) And then it all turns out right in the end!

Just as yours has!

It's about Laura who finds herself washed up from a shipwreck in 2009 - she'd stormed off from her betrothed in 1814 so she's somewhat confused as to how this could happen. She likes life in the 21st century but she realizes she has made a horrible mistake.

I love the cover, Groovy, and the synopsis looks good too.

All the best for this to reach the top of the charts.

And he's quite meaty too. 'Mother Tongue' is like a meaty dish, with tasty titbits added on top. Or something like that - it's late at night here and I'm a bit dozy.

If you want to pick up a time travel romance which hops between 2009 and 1814, Hide in Time will remain at 99p/99c only until Saturday 21st March.

Laura has a regret which is a bit difficult to put right but where there's a will, there's a way.

Cut toes off? Ooh, ouch.

Sorry, don't know of any but I will do a search tomorrow perhaps.

I love Bill Bryson's books, so thanks for this news.

As I write this, it is snowing here in England and it looks pretty magical!



This time travel romance is now $0.99 or the equivalent on all Amazon sites.

Here's what a Goodreads reviewer says:

"Oh, this is such a pleasure to read, right up to the thrilling end, through tense moments and laughter..."

Here's an excerpt:

Laura is bewildered - just hours ago she was in 1814 now where is she? And when?

He’d looked at her – wet and sandy. She’d remember that look all her life, no matter how long she lived. He had eyes that listened; deep brown eyes which had encouraged her to ask, ‘Sir, would you kindly assist me. I was aboard the SS Kismet when it collided with a sandbank.” She’d hesitated before adding the stark consequence, “It sank.” He had taken a step forwards and lifted her trunk. The tar had ruined his T-shirt but he never mentioned it. He’d asked where she was trying to go and she’d replied, “America.” He hadn’t laughed, though the little group of people gathered about were smirking. One of them, unasked, gave Matt directions to the hospital. What would she have done without Matt? Another tear trickled down her face.
“Nearly there, Laura. Have you a plan?”
Plan? It consisted, so far, of arriving with Matt. The past had intruded and overwhelmed her thoughts yet again.

Here's my contribution to the magical Christmas spirit. It's taken from

Alexandra, with very good reason, travels back in time. Hiding. Not that she can remember why. She is now experiencing her first Christmas in Regency England.

"Now here was the culmination of the festivities – the Leigh-Fox Christmas Soirée to which all the local dignitaries and families of consequence had been invited. It was becoming a most interesting evening. Catherine clearly impressed Sir Humphrey Frobisher’s eldest son, James, for he had not left her side from the moment they were introduced. It was understandable, thought Alexandra. She looked warm, friendly and highly attractive in her peach-coloured dress. The dress was ornamented with Chinese silk trimmings Catherine had told her with the merest hint of pride and more of a longing for approval. How fragile her hold on expectations was becoming. The gown was set off by a pearl and amber matching brooch and necklace. “At last, I have the opportunity to wear mama’s jewels. Adam has brought them out from the ‘safe’,” she’d whispered to Alexandra.

An accomplished pianist was playing while the guests took their seats in the music room; it was so expressive that Alexandra’s curiosity was aroused. She was unable to hide her amazement when she saw Jack at the piano particularly when he began to sing. His voice was deep and pure, one that would charm any woman or lull the most obstreperous baby to sleep. A redeeming feature par excellence.

A most unwelcome thought, pushed rapidly aside, flashed through Alexandra’s mind. Was he the highwayman?"
