Book Overview
Sometimes a second chance isn't what you expect
When a drunk truck driver rear-ends her car, Madeline Archer suddenly finds herself standing on the street, gazing through the shattered window at her own body, battered and bloody, thrown against the steering wheel. A blinding white light beckons. She has read enough about death to know what that means, but she sees another option and prays it isn't a doorway to hell.
Madeline awakes in 1892 and finds herself married to a stranger she thinks is the most interesting man she has ever met, but who seems to hate her. Even worse, the woman who used to be in her body was the victim of a botched murder attempt. Who wants her dead? Why? And when will he try again?

BIOGRAPHY I've been telling stories with happy endings most of my life. Pre-kindergarten (we did not have a TV back then) my grandmother read Madge Bigham's lovely tale, Sonny Elephant, to me over and over. I loved the story, still do, but I didn't like the ending. (Three-year-olds are perverse creatures.) My grandmother told me we could tell the story any way we liked, so each time she read the book, she would stop at the last chapter, and I would make up an ending I liked better. That was the start of my literary career. But hardly the end.
When I was in the third grade, we had a spelling test every Friday. While our teacher, Mrs. Robinson, graded the papers, she would let students volunteer to entertain the class by telling a story or a joke or singing. I always had a story to tell, and the other kids seemed to like them.
My path has included a degree in mathematics and English. I stopped just short of a master's in computer science to have my daughter. I have worked as a programmer, a technical writer, a forensic accountant, a seamstress (which paid for my horse's board while I was in college), an office manager, a horse trainer, riding instructor, and stable owner, and now I have become an author--possibly my greatest adventure yet.
Nowadays, I live with my husband in Fernandina Beach, Florida, where I get to watch the waves and feel the sand with my feet every day.
