I'll be the first to admit, it's been forever since I've attended a meeting of my local RWA chapter, and if I'd go I probably wouldn't recognize half of the faces there. So, I thought it would be fun to give a shout out to members I knew back when I was a much more faithful attendee.
Stay with Me is Beverly Long's debut romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and the really fun part for me was I had heard the first chapter during a critique session before it was published. And while I originally read the completed story in paperback (and have an autographed copy!), it's now available through Kindle at Amazon with a new cover to boot! (I don't know if the story has been updated or not, since I've only read the original.)
Here's the blurb:
It’s a case of mistaken identity when Sarah Jane Tremont is swept off a California beach and tossed more than a hundred years back to 1888 Wyoming Territory, onto John Beckett’s doorstep. He has her confused with his former sister-in-law, the woman he believes responsible for his brother’s death. Can Sarah convince the handsome rancher of the truth? Can he convince her to stay in his time?
Here with Me is a forward-in-time travel. The hero from the past travels to the present.
Blurb:
Sheriff George Tyler time travels from 1888 Wyoming Territory to modern-day Napa Valley and meets Melody Song, a woman badly in need of a temporary husband. He agrees to help and quickly realizes that Melody needs more than just his name. She also needs his protection. Someone is intent upon harming her and her unborn child. Can George save them both?
If you like time travels, you'll enjoy these two romances by author Beverly Long!
Until next time,
Happy Reading!

P.S. I posted the covers from the original books, not the new Kindle ones, since that's how they looked when I read them! :)
I'm always interested to see how authors explain the act of time travel.
ReplyDeleteTime travel + westerns. How creative!!!
If I remember correctly, this was one of the most creative ways to travel back into the past I've read.
DeleteI just purchased Stay with Me.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the original cover, though the new one has a pocket watch in one corner. It will be interesting to see why the beach background when the original had the handsome cowboy.
I hope you like it!
DeleteI love time travels. and both of these sound interesting. How great that you got to read the first chapters as a critique!
ReplyDeleteI do really miss that part of going to meetings, but it's one of those...so little time type of situations.
DeleteTime travel sounds really interesting and yet I've not read any. Perhaps now is the time to start. You've made them sound very intriguing, Debra.
ReplyDeleteI've read a few here and there. I picked up these because they were written by a chapter mate, but I really enjoyed them.
DeleteTime travel intrigues me, especially people coming from the past to modern times. What a shock for them!
ReplyDeleteWith time travel the one thing you really need to do is suspend your perception of time and reality and don't adhere to logic at all. Otherwise a lot of times it won't make sense at all.
DeleteI have an idea for a time travel spinning in my head, but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to write the 'past' part.
Debra,
ReplyDeleteJust ran across this. Thank you so much for highlighting both Stay With Me and Here With Me. An author is always partial to her first book and it's nice to hear that it resonated with you as well. Those critique sessions were wonderful.
