    About this ebook

    Stealing Time is a fast-paced time travel thriller set during the turbulent hurricane season of 2004. As Hurricane Charley churns a path of destruction towards Orlando, Ronnie Andrews and her best friend, Stephanie McKay, scramble to prepare for the storm. Ronnie seeks shelter at her boyfriend’s weather lab while Steph waits for Nick hoping she won’t have to face the hurricane alone.

    During the peak of the storm Ronnie is hurtled back to eighteenth-century London where she is caught in a web of superstition, deception, and lies. Accused of being a witch, Ronnie finds herself in a life and death struggle to return to her own time.

    Steph and Nick are thrust into the middle of the hurricane where it quickly turns into a living nightmare as she is faced with losing everything.

      Veronica “Ronnie” Andrews has just moved down to central Florida in order to be close to her boyfriend, Jeff, who has just gotten a job at some science lab, and her best friend, Steph. Now, on her birthday, Ronnie and Steph are hunkering down as a strong hurricane makes its way toward them, while Jeff appears to be busy at his new job. Suddenly, Ronnie receives a call from Jeff, who tells her that he has gotten her through lab security so that they can enjoy a birthday dinner for her together. Leaving Steph to face the hurricane on her own, Ronnie heads to Jeff’s lab, but after dinner, she feels queasy and heads to the restroom where she collapses into unconsciousness. When she awakens, she finds herself inside the body of another woman, Regina, back in 1752 London, where Regina’s brother, Jack, is trying to impose an arranged marriage on her with an elderly wealthy gentleman. Ronnie’s independent character does not fit in well in this time as it leads her down the path to being accused and tried as a witch. The characters in this science fantasy are very well-drawn out and relate easily with the reader in the limited omniscient point-of-view telling. This is most evident in the base time travel tale of a very independent woman suddenly having to face a male chauvinistic and strictly religious culture of a pre-revolutionary period, especially during the harsh witch trial. However, the plot mythos bringing her to this earlier time is vague, unclear, and somewhat contradictory between elements of high physical science and supernormal metaphysical magic, creating a sense that these are all perfunctory plot devices just to put our modern main character back into the history of witch trial culture. In addition, the intermittent B story of Steph and her boyfriend’s struggle to survive the hurricane, while excitingly dramatic on its own, becomes more of a distraction to the main time travel tale.
