"An unusual story which grips you from beginning to end. Historical detail is well done, and it is a great read."The above quote from 'telangatuk' refers to:
And here is an extract. Xandra, from the 21st century, is travelling with her 19th century companions.
"Upon her return, the man was slouched across the entire seat facing the front where Parson Raffles had been sitting; Parson Raffles was remonstrating with him.
“My good man,” said the parson in a manner that conveyed doubts about his own choice of adjective, “I feel I should apprise you of the fact that I am a poor traveller and I need to face the front.”
“Good man? D’you know who you’re talking to?”
His doubts confirmed, the parson replied, “I can see you are no gentleman, despite your attempt at a gentleman’s garb.”
Ooh, thought Xandra, this could turn into an interesting journey.
“I am Alfred Smith. You’ll know my name, of course.”
“I do not, and I have no wish to hear more of it.”
Alfred Smith, no more than twenty-five years of age, held high a bulging, chinking, pouch. “Alfred Smith shall soon be one of the richest men in the county and you’ll be saying you had the good fortune to meet the great man.”
Parson Raffles climbed in the carriage and sat next to, and almost on top of, the aspiring great, but currently drunk and scrawny, Alfred Smith."
If you have not yet read Hide in Time, I hope you will take a look at the ebook on Amazon and, if you buy it, I hope you will enjoy it.

If you like time travel, the Regency era, highwaymen, shipwrecks, and a splash of humour, you might like to take a look.
Misjudging the man she loves, Laura leaves for America in 1814 but is shipwrecked in the English channel and washed ashore in 2009. Too late, she learns the truth about him.
She is assisted in adjusting to twenty-first century living by a psychologist who is fascinated by her and her story of Regency times, highwaymen and a sailing ship wrecked on treacherous sands. He enables Laura to set up an Introduction Agency where she works hard to bring happiness to others, thinking she has missed out for herself.
Events confirm Laura's suspicion that a new client's destiny is linked with her own and she sees a way to restore happiness to the man she still loves and cannot forget. She risks her own life and chance of fulfilment to return to 1814. In concentrating all her efforts on the past, she neglects the future. Fortunately, someone very special understands.
