For fans of “Doctor Who” and “Outlander” 

If you could change history, would you?

College graduate Josephine “Josie” Jackson answers ‘yes’ to the question on a survey while visiting the Old West tourist town of Tombstone. The next morning, she wakes up in Indian Territory in the 1840s, where she’s given a mission to complete before she can return to her time: to reset history, and prevent the deaths of hundreds of thousands over the next century, by convincing the man responsible for kindling the war between settlers and natives to stay home on the day he’s supposed to start the war.

But someone is hunting down time travelers and killing them. Three other women have been sent back to the same time period with Josie’s mission. When she stumbles upon what happened to them, she realizes the chances of her getting out of the past alive are not good.

To survive, she’ll have to trust the person who’s there to stop her from changing history, someone who has every reason to distrust her and only one reason to help her – to save her from the mysterious man who sent her back in time to start with.

When Josie visits Tombstone, she gets more than she bargained for. When she fills out a survey for a free $50 gift card she meets Carter. Carter is so familiar to her but she is sure she’s never met him before. They go out drinking for the evening and plan for her to travel back in the past. She thinks that all the planning and conversation is just good fun and wishful thinking until she wakes up in the old west. Here she meets another man who is familiar to her, but not. He is handsome and the sheriff too! Once she figures out that she is not dreaming, she goes about finding a way to fulfill the mission Carter sent her on.

The story was intriguing and full of mystery and suspense, which kept you guessing until the very end. There were many unexpected surprises and even though the end wasn’t how I wanted it to be, I still found it a great read and look forward to the next book in the series.

Lizzy’s (furry) writing friends

~~~~~~ 

I have four furry friends who sit near/on/beside me when I’m writing. I’d love for ewe all to meet them!

Wookie 

He’s a mentally disabled shih tzu with the sweetest personality on the planet! He loves anything that rolls, crunchies and sitting beside me while I write. Because of his trouble learning and understanding the world, he learned how to do everything he does by mirroring his big sister, a bulldog with few manners. Haha! But Wookie is too cute and gentle for bad habits to make him any less lovable!

  

Potato

For anyone who follows me on Facebook or Instagram, you probably see beaucoup pictures of Potato. She’s a rock star in Lizzyland, a sixty-pound female English Bulldog. Those who know a thing or two about bulldogs know this is pretty darn big for a female. She’s like a furry bowling ball and has hyper spurts that send her racing around the house with Wookie. Her mortal enemy is her reflection. It’s taken us several years to teach her that her reflection in the mirror/window is not the nemesis she thinks it is.

Tamale

Shy, gentle, and as aloof as a cat, he’s a rescue shiba inu, a Japanese dog breed defined by its independence and the funny way he barks. Tamale is the old man of the house at around ten years old. He goes through phases where he doesn’t want anything to do with anyone and periods of clinginess, until he gets his fill of hugs and petting. He’s a smart dog, too, and when he’s hungry, he’ll ‘herd’ you towards the kitchen.

  

Tubbs 

Our token cat pretty much thinks he’s a dog! He’s super vocal around feeding time but otherwise quiet, unless he’s mad at one of the dogs. He likes to mess with the other fuzzies, I think because they don’t understand what he’s doing. He’s lost about six pounds this year, which he really needed. He has an allergy to hard food of every kind and now just eats meat and soft food, and he’s so much healthier.

If you could change history, would you?

College graduate Josephine “Josie” Jackson answers ‘yes’ to the question on a survey while visiting an Old West tourist trap. The next morning, she wakes up in Indian Territory in the 1840s, where she’s given a mission to complete before she can return to her time: to reset history by finding and stopping the man responsible for a horrific massacre.

It seems easy enough, until she discovers that three other women have been sent back to the same time period. When Josie uncovers what happened to them, she realizes the chances of her getting out of the past alive are not good.

To survive, she’ll have to trust the very man she’s there to stop, someone who has every reason to distrust her and only one reason to help her - to prove he’s not the monster she claims he’ll become.
