I'll let someone else do the talking: here is the latest review on Amazon UK:

"What a beautifully written book. I instantly fell in love with the characters and cared about what happened to them. I loved the history, the little gems of information which sent me off to research further and the concept of the story. I found it believable even though it’s a work of imagination and fiction. Hide in Time is a must read for all those looking for a well written book in which to lose oneself. Highly recommended."

It is 1821, Regency England, and smuggling is rife on the Kent coast.

"When a book allows me to become one of the characters....aahhhh, perfection!" Louisa on Goodreads


On your death bed, they say it's not the things you've done that you regret most, but the things you've left undone.

Excerpt: Opening of chapter one

Karl Thorsen arrived, as usual, like a drum roll prior to battle.

Dismounting from his black stallion, he flung the reins around the hitching post and strode across to the open door of the early Georgian farmhouse.

“I need your help.”

“Another impossible task you wish to undertake?” Daniel Tynton dipped his head in greeting to his old foe, now promoted to almost a friend. “What is it this time?”

Karl gave him a wry smile and stamped his feet impatiently after his long, cold ride. “All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Would you agree?”

Daniel, a little taller and fairer than Karl, stood aside to allow him to enter. “A notion you have acquired from your Parliamentary friends?”
~

So what does this tell you? That Karl and Daniel are no longer enemies. That Karl is still fighting fit and is now involved with Parliament in some way. That Daniel is, as ever, comfortably laid-back and used to Karl’s crusades. That two good men are about to embark on a perilous adventure.

And for only 0.99 you can go with them. ;-) I should take your rain coat if I were you.

0.99 until 4th May

I don’t write children’s stories and some of you may have children at home who’ve run out of good books to read. Here then is something from Carole P. Roman, an award winning author, whose first big book of silly jokes lives on my bookshelf for all visiting children. This is her second book and it looks like it is also going to get that best selling flag from Amazon.
