About the Book:
No one ever knew what
really happened to Dr. Jonathan Brandon back in 1945. He simply disappeared
from a London pub, leaving behind an unsolved mystery and his fiancée—Anne
Howard's grandmother. Seventy years later, Anne herself is haunted by the
strange tale, along with inexplicable hallucinations straight out of
Elizabethan England. Including a scarred, handsome man whose deep blue eyes
seem to touch her very soul....
Anne wonders if there isn't
something more to the story. Is it even possible that Jonathan disappeared into
England's dark past? And why does Anne keep hearing him whisper her name?
Because now she too feels the inexorable pull of the past, not to mention an
undeniable attraction for a man she doesn't even know.
It's just a matter of time
before Anne will step back into history, and face a destiny―and a love―beyond
imagining...
Author Bio:
Long version- A chance meeting at a
writers' conference brought Cary Morgan Frates and Deborah O'Neill Cordes
together, two award-winning authors who connected because of a mutual love of
time travel fiction. Collaboration ensued, the search for a pen name the first
step in their working relationship. Their maiden names provided the solution -
and "Morgan O'Neill" was born.
Cary and Deborah's backgrounds are uniquely suited to writing stories steeped in atmosphere and history: Deborah has a Master's Degree in history and is a dedicated genealogist; Cary is a talented linguist in French and is currently a student of Latin. They've traveled to Europe's ancient and medieval sites many times, with Cary living on the Continent for five years.
The Morgan O'Neill time travel novels have received a number of literary awards, including two finalist wins in the Booksellers' Best Awards, two semifinalist wins in the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition, first, second, and third place wins for the Mainstream Novel with Strong Romantic Elements category of the Golden Rose Contest, a top ten finalist award in the Pacific Northwest Writers' Conference Zola Awards Literary Contest, and a top ten finalist win in the Orange Rose Contest.
