Time travel stories have always fascinated me. I never
really considered why, I just knew I liked them. From the first one I read (The
Time Machine by HG Wells), I have always been drawn to them.
I think part of it stems from loving history so much. I love
seeing “old” things and imagining what it would have been like to be the person
who bought it. I look at an antique bed and can’t help but wonder why the
original owner picked that bed (or built it). I try to imagine who could have
lived in old houses—growing up, falling in love, raising kids…it is all
interesting to me. I wish we had a crystal ball that looked back in
time—wouldn’t those “movies’ be so much fun to watch?
So why not just write historicals? Well, that is a viable
option, but time travel (romances especially) have another layer than just the
historical. I love having someone from modern times go into the past—I think
that creates an interesting lens to view the past through. As a reader, I kind
of expect the time traveler to ask questions that I would. As a writer, I get
to imagine myself doing the travel.
As with all writing, there are limits. I don’t want to write
about guys who think they are superior to women just because of anatomy. I also
don’t want to write about guys who haven’t taken a bath, or have rotten teeth.
A little fantasy goes a long way and the result (hopefully) is an all new kind
of mysterious man who is hot (and clean).

Blurb:
Anya’s wish for a normal date—away from the old man she is caretaker for—comes true in unexpected ways when she finds herself whisked to an ancient Irish stone circle on solstice eve.
Carrick’s decision to follow the path to become an Ovate druid has not come lightly, and he plans to spend the solstice eve in meditation unless fairies or evil spirits disrupt the circle. When a feisty girl walks right up to the fire, more than sparks fly.
They each seek healing and a connection, but the darkness of summer is short, and once the solstice sun breaks through the circle at dawn, the magic of the night will be over. Even Madame Eve can’t stop the day from rising.
