Writers and Readers discussion

Hide in Time is described by a Goodreads' member as "refreshingly different".

Laura is haunted by the words "They say that on your death bed it's the things you have not done that you regret the most." She'd stormed off from the man she loved only to find that she could never go back to him and put things right. Or could she?

The first chapter starts in the familiar world of the twenty-first century but by the end of the first chapter you will probably have spotted that Laura is not completely at home in this time.

Several chapters in and you may find that your sympathies lie with Xandra facing up to life in the early nineteenth century.

If you read this book, I hope you will enjoy it.

Laura has a life-changing regret which she doesn't think she can do anything about until Matt and Xandra come into her life.

Here's another comment about Hide in Time from a Goodreads review:

"I wanted to know what happened next - always a good sign."

If you enjoy time travel romances you might like to take a trip back to England in 1814 and cheer Laura on as she tries to put things right.

I had to read this comment several times - it was so complimentary.

"I was on holidays with over 80 books loaded onto my kindle to choose from, but once I started reading this, I knew I had to get it to finish it."

Any author will tell you that a lot of work goes into producing a book, so it's really nice if a reader takes the time to tell you he or she enjoyed it.

If you like a book that is "refreshingly different" I hope you will take a look at Hide in Time

Comment from a Goodreads’ review: “Very well written and engaging story. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves regency novels.”

Misjudging the man she loves, Laura leaves England for America in 1814 but is shipwrecked and washed ashore in 2009. Too late, she learns the truth about him.

Events confirm Laura's suspicion that the destiny of a woman she meets 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 life and chance of fulfilment to return to Regency times.

A time travel mystery and romance all rolled into one exciting book.

This is another extract from the time travel romance


Xandra, in the twenty-first century, is needing a place to hide from a gang of criminals, and has put her trust in Laura. She knows Laura has a plan, but she is not entirely sure what it is. She has just found out:

“Whoa, there,” barked the man with the whip which had been flailing perilously close to the scarlet-liveried man standing guard at the back. “Whoo, whoo.” He brought the horses to a halt and bellowed, “Get out of the way, woman. Are you weak in the mind!”
“Great flumpleducks, girl; what are you doing here?” A woman, wearing a long, grey skirt, brown shawl tied around her shoulders and a white mobcap, stepped down from the coach onto the track.
Instinctively, Xandra put her hand to her head and felt her own cap with the lacy scarf still tied around it. If she could have answered, she would have, but she wasn’t at all sure what she was doing here.
The horses restlessly pawed the ground and tossed their heads. “Get her out of the way. We’re already late,” called the driver.
“You mind your manners. You’re charging a king’s ransom to take us to Canterbury tonight, so you just…”
“What is it, Martha? What causes the delay?” A man in clerical garb alighted from the coach. To say he was amply proportioned would do his physique insufficient justice. He approached Xandra. “Are you in distress?”
Xandra looked down at her wet, sandy shoes and the hem of her dress which hung damp, heavy and close around her ankles.
“Flollops! Of course she’s in distress. Can’t you see she’s all wet and wobbly?”
Parson Emmanuel Raffles looked both annoyed and abashed. “Martha, you are to be my kitchen maid, not my mouthpiece.” He sighed and muttered, “God forbid.”
