Chance in Time

In my third book, I imagined my favorite theme of a time travel love story in the collection of short stories, headlined by a novella, A Chance in Time. There are also ghosts, mystical second chances, and a dash of humor for good measure. Nellie Crier, who you may remember from The Mystery of the Greenview Inn, makes her quirky reappearance on the pages of the novella. All’s well that ends well, or so it will make you think—or not... A Chance in Time. A time travel adventure. Lida Wesley has a problem. Jack, her husband of 23 years—and her best friend and soulmate of at least 35—suddenly vanishes without a trace. A cryptic note he left behind only infuriates and confuses her to no end. While navigating the heavy burden of looking after her husband’s law practice, Lida is determined to solve the mystery of Jack’s disappearance. There is only one catch—she also has to travel back in time to bring him home safely. If only she could be more transparent with her grown daughters, but the secret is no longer hers, and Time in its infinite reality is of the essence. *** The Sequel A bewildered author, Amelia Cartwright, finds herself at a cheap motel, having no idea how she arrived or how long she has been there. To her utter astonishment, one of her own book characters comes to life to help her solve the mystery that she blocked out of her memory... *** The Spirit of the Old Heady Julie and Mark Hanson are delighted with their beautiful hotel room with a Pacific ocean view that they booked to celebrate their seventh anniversary. The only glitch with their stay is a ghost story that comes with the place—the ghost story that strikes a personal note, perhaps a bit too close to home... These and other mysterious tales are gathered together in A Chance In Time.
