Yes, it's that time again. Another publication day! And this time it's for my timeslip/time travel romance, set partly in 1983, in Newcastle upon Tyne. My home turf.
Want to know more about it? Read on...
How far (back) would you go for love...?
Sometimes life stagnates, right?
Routines set in.
Life becomes predictable.
Starting a new relationship isn't something you want to do in a hurry after the man you loved turned out to be a lying, cheating, grade-A p****.
I felt like my life had stagnated. Become predictable. Although, getting rid of the grade-A p**** wasn’t a huge loss. I mean, things were good, in reality, I had a nice life. It was just that, it felt like something was missing. I wanted something new. Something different. But, you know, you really should be careful what you wish for because, one day, I stood underneath an archway on an unassuming little back street, and everything changed.
I got something different.
I experienced something new.
Something unbelievable. Incredible. Unexplainable...
I was somehow thrust back forty-one years, to a decade I didn’t belong in. Six years before I was born.
Was I scared? Yeah. Of course I was. Who wouldn’t be?
Did I think I was going mad? At first, yes.
But then I met him. Zane. A man who belonged in 1983. I didn’t.
A man I shouldn’t have had feelings for. But, hey, everyone loves a curve ball, right? No. Not this one. Definitely not this one.
I’d been given a way to travel between decades, and I didn’t know why. Because there had to be a reason, I was certain of that. These kinds of things – weird, crazy things – they didn’t happen to people like me, so, there had to be a reason. A reason why I met a man like Zane, in 1983. A reason why I had to lie; keep secrets from those I loved in 2025, because nobody would understand. Nobody would believe me.
Nobody.
So I chose to believe in fate. Because everything happens for a reason, doesn’t it?
Possibly.
Maybe.
Definitely…
