Synopsis:
Talk about the worst first date ever! Lara lets her friend
Carrie talk her into a blind date, only it turns out the handsome stranger
waiting for Lara after work isn’t Carrie’s cousin after all. And, when they’re
chased through a portal to another world, Lara realizes Rhys really is out of
this world.
Rhys believes Lara’s alternate in his dimension, Lyra, has left clues in her subconscious to the whereabouts of the Book of Secrets which explains the mystery of time travel. Power-hungry telepaths pursuing them will stop at nothing to get it, even if it means breaking Lara’s mind. To complicate matters, Lara gets tangled up in her feelings for Rhys while exploring her connection with Lyra.
With Rhys as her guardian, a bear of a man named Azle to guide her, and the spirit of Lyra haunting her dreams, Lara must find the Book of Secrets before it falls into the hands of those who want its power. Only then can she return to her world safely.

About the Author:
Born
in west Texas and raised in south Texas, Susan makes her home in a 100-year-old
farmhouse in a small east Texas town that comes complete with a female ghost
who has been known to harmonize with her son when he plays guitar.
Susan is married, with three children and four grandchildren. Her family is rich with characters, both past and present. She spent her childhood listening to her grandmother’s stories of living on a farm in Oklahoma Territory with three sisters and three brothers and working as a telephone operator in the early 20th century. Her father shared stories of growing up in San Antonio in the depression, and through her mother’s eyes she experienced how it felt to be a teenager during WWII.
Her newest book, In My Own Shadow, is a Fantasy adventure/romance. Other published works are, Not Long Ago, a time travel adventure/romance. Both ebooks are available through MuseItUp/Amazon/B&N. Odin’s Spear, one of her short stories is featured in a Quests, Curses, and Vengeance anthology, Martinus Publishing. She has finished the sequel to Not Long Ago, because her daughter insists there is still more of Erin and Griffin’s story to tell, and she was right.

ReplyDeleteHey, Susan! Great choice of excerpt. I really enjoyed this story - it was a lot of fun, as was the love/hate relationship between Lara and Rhys. I'm looking forward to the sequel! Keep up the great work!
