In 2012, a woman cuts her hand and picks up a strange colored stone -
Suddenly she is staring into the eyes of an angry Powhatan warrior.
And the only town nearby is Jamestown, circa 1622.
Maggie McMillan wakes up one day as a college student, yet ends the day in the 1622. Captured by Winn, a warrior who is torn between his duty to kill her and his desire to keep her, she is thrust into a life she had only read about in history books.
Hunted and feared by both the Powhatan and the English, she struggles to find a way home while Winn plots to keep her there. Maggie fights to survive as she finds herself entangled in the Indian Massacre of 1622, and Winn sees everything he ever believed in shattered by the knowledge she holds.
As they battle against each other and the message she brings from the future, she must decide whether to return to her own time, or to make a life in the past with the man who holds her heart captive.

"Time travel and romance converge in this tale of star-crossed love"
-Publishers Weekly Review of 2013 ABNA Quarterfinalist manuscript
ABNA Expert Reviewer
"The writing was very good. The prose flowed naturally and the pacing was fluid. It had a polished and professional quality other stories have lacked. I also appreciate how authentically the time travel was portrayed. The protagonist coming to grips with her new surroundings had an integrity and realism to it that many such stories lack. Probably owing to the quality prose, everything had a vividness to it."
-Review of ABNA excerpt
ABNA Expert Reviewer
"The strongest aspect is the author's creation of a spunky, sympathetic heroine whose abrupt tumble Alice in Wonderland-style into a perplexing (but somehow familiar) world is humorous and intriguing."

From the Author
This first volume in the Time Walkers series is very dear to my heart. I came up with the idea after running across a story in my family history. As I researched I kept wondering what happened beyond the facts. What was it like to live during that time? Soon an even more intriguing question occurred: would a modern woman be able to survive during such a tumultuous time in history?
So it happened that the idea for this story grew wings. Maggie is a modern day woman with all her flaws and features, sent back to a time when men were carving out the history of America. She has just enough knowledge of the past to know trouble is coming, yet soon she is kicking herself for not paying better attention in history class. Fortunately the hero of the story, Winn, does not kill her on sight, but he has his own set of issues to deal with just like any person in any century.
I hope you enjoy this journey into the past as much as I did writing it, and thank you for giving the Time Walkers series a chance. I am always thrilled to chat with readers, so please drop by my Facebook page to hang out.
Many thanks and happy reading!

There's a Whole Lot'a Shakin' Goin' On
By A. Bell
Here's the thing. I don't like bodice-ripping (or buckskin-ripping) romances. I tend to read all the steamy scenes as, "she kissed his blah blah blah and blahed his blah blah blah." As such, I'm obviously the wrong audience for this book since the first half of the book has far too much "quivering" (x3), "shaking" (x48), and "shivering" (x14) for my tastes.
So why did I read it? It was chosen as our book of the month for our time travel book club. Since the time travel in the novel takes the main character, Maggie, to colonial America to live among the Powhatans, I was very interested in reading it. However, it was just not my cup of tea.
Had the first half of the book been more like the last half of the book, I think I would have liked it better. In the first half of the book, the focal point is the romance between Maggie and a Powhatan warrior named Winn. However, the Maggie of the first half of the book has quite an explosive personality. She bristles, thrashes, and rages at everything. Of course, she's not used to the rules of conduct of women in a Powhatan village and does not relish being the "slave" and "property" of Winn. I can understand the sentiment, but it's one thing to be dropped into the 1960s and bristle at such social mores and quite another thing to be dropped into the 1622s and expect to be able to behave as an equal to the men around you. Many of the misadventures that Maggie has in the first half of the book are a result of her quick temper. However, there are too many times when she explodes as a result of practically nothing. Maybe some men like that? Anyhow, it makes for an interesting character, but I think her temper is a little too extreme to be realistic. At least I'd like to think so.
The last half of the book seems like almost a different book entirely. There is an interesting storyline as the Powhatans plot against the English and visa versa, various people get kidnapped, the romance is toned down from a 10 to a 5, and Maggie's temper has been tamed. Whereas I would give the first half of the book 2 stars, the second half gets 4 stars.
I have to say, though, that my favorite line in the book is a typo. Well, at least I hope it's a typo: "Maggie watched as Winn said something tense to the man and waved his question off, shaking his head, while pushing a bowel of food into the man's hands as if to distract him." I know I'd be distracted by a bowel of food being shoved into my hands!
I do think that certain readers would really love this book. If I did enjoy an erotic romance to go along with my colonial literary fiction, I might have given the book 4 or 5 stars. The book is well-written (minus the bowel incident and a few other typos), well-researched, and chock full of history. Plus, Winn is a drool-worthy character that fan girls would certainly love to put on the same pedestal as all their other lust-worthy book men. I was imagining a male version of Pocahontas from the movie "The New World" (played by Q'orianka Kilcher). Perhaps her brother Kainoa would fit the role. And of course, Wes Studi has to be Opechancanough as he is in "The New World". However, for me, this book is just a 3-star book by no fault of the author.

Diagalogue Killed It for Me
By CindyBman
I wanted to enjoy this book - I love time travel romances and I had never read a book with Native America as the destination. I only made it to page 34.
Cut to the chase: it's 1621 and the Native American (and subsequently his siblings) who discover her speaks English. It is explained that he was taught because the white man is not trustworthy, so one needs to be able to communicate in the white man's language. I get that. However, the Native Americans speak PERFECT English. They pronounce Maggie's name as "Ma-gee" yet they never hesitate when speaking, they pronounce every word correctly and never use bad grammar. I find this amazingly hard to believe. The icing on the cake is that Ma-gee speaks modern-day English and they understand her. Contractions and mild slang does not cause the American Indians to ever ask for clarification or for her to repeat what she said.
Also (since this is at the beginning of the book - again, I only made it to p34 - I don't think this is a spoiler), there is a scene where Winn's (the main character opposite Ma-gee) mare is dying from birthing a new foal. Of course, Ma-gee is there to save the day and thus endear her to the tribe. That's fine and I understand why it was written. However, here are Native Americans who have been living off the land and caring for their animals for centuries, and NO ONE in the tribe knows how to help the mare or her foal? The mare is past help so Ma-gee concentrates on the foal. (I'm not a horse-person, so I apologize if "foal" is the incorrect term. "colt"?) The foal is too far from the mare to suckle so Maggie gets Winn's brother to help. They need to get milk from the mare -- and no one but Maggie knows what to do! Really?? She orders for buckskin water carriers and gets the milk into them. Then, what to do?? How to get the milk from the carrier to the foal?? Winn's brother looks helpless then Maggie takes his knife, creates a small hole, then the foal can drink from the improvised teat. Really? Not one member of the tribe knew how to do this?
Between the perfect English conversations and understanding and the Native American's lack of intelligence, I closed the book and deleted it from my library.

A series worth reading
By Donna Z
Wow! Did I mention Wow? Do not go into this book thinking you are just going to be reading a cool paranormal about time travel. It is all of that but so much more. Prepare yourself for a trip to the early 1600's that will bring danger, heartache, deep joy and a love that defies racial hatred.
We begin our journey into the past with Maggie who is firmly grounded in the present or at least in the near present year of 2012. She is grief stricken over the loss of her beloved grandpa who had raised her. Marcus, an old family friend that lives on her grandpa's farm in Virginia while not family is the closest she has to it.
While cleaning out the old barn on the property she comes across some unusual near black stones with a strange deep red blood like vein running through the stones. Her whole existence and life as she knows it changes when she picks up one of the stones with her blood smeared hand from a small cut. As her world fades and pain, confusion, fear and darkness settles in she is transported back to 1621. As she slowly comes to her senses from what she surmises was an exceptionally deep sleep she is confronted with a world that makes no sense. A bear attack, a rescue by an amazingly lean muscled piece of male Indian perfection with blue eyes no less causes Maggie to decides she is still trapped in a dream. A dream that becomes a nightmare as she begins to realize there is no waking up from the situation she has fallen into.
Winn has known of Time Walkers his whole life. His own father is one. Regardless, Winn has sworn to the leader of the Paspahegh people to immediately kill any he should come across. But when one turns out to be a read haired female beauty he ignores his vow and saves her instead. His decision to keep Maggie as his slave sets off a chain of events that will put both of their lives in danger and change the path of his family.
The rich details of every day life in the 1600's by both the natives and the colonist makes the characters in the book believable and come alive. With this novel you have the paranormal mixed with historical content. A fascinating combination.
Highly recommend this to anyone.
