Welcome back to Around the Fire. I'm putting this blog together while sitting in my 5th Wheel camper in Ronks, Pennsylvania. Lancaster County is one of our favorite destinations. Mill Bridge Village campground is open all year. It's been chilly and windy, but it's November after all. Today, I even spotted a few rogue snowflakes. We talked about it on our drive here. This is a comfortable place for us. We've been coming here for years and visiting some regular stops and finding new favorites. On Saturday, Clocktower Cheese Shoppe, along with Cackleberry Farm Antique Mall, was first. We never know what we'll discover as we traverse the back roads. After you leave the main roads, it's like stepping back in time. Harvest is nearly over. Crops are in the barns. Fields are being prepped for next spring. It's a different world between the hubbub of modern, and everything slows down. Tomorrow, my family is coming to town and we're going to see Noah at the Sight and Sound Theater. Talk about a different era. Speaking of time, today's guest is talking about her time-travel romance. Beth's feline friends, Rajah and Charlie, and I hope you enjoy.   Love Between Times by Beth Ford Time travel romance When Ashley’s conventional 21st century life falls apart, she returns to England to write the book she shelved years ago, determined to take control of her life. Meanwhile, in 1377 Wiltshire, Thomas fights his family’s desire that he become a priest and plots to chase his dream of knighthood instead. While Ashley and Thomas search for answers, Thomas suddenly appears in the modern day. Unable to communicate, his first encounter with Ashley ends with the police demanding his immigration papers. All Thomas wants is to return to the world he understands, but he and Ashley are drawn together again and again. How will they find the answers Thomas needs before the authorities close in without losing each other forever?

It does a good job of creating the sharp contrast between eras, and a good job with changes in perspective, as some scenes are done from Ashley's view, while others come from Thomas' view.” “While the novel does feature moments of suspense and tension—particularly around the authorities’ pursuit of Thomas--Love Between Times is ultimately a story about love, second chances, and the uncharted territory of new beginnings. It’s an engaging, sweet, and often emotional read, perfect for fans of historical fiction, time-travel narratives, and character-driven romance. Ford leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger and leaves the ending open ended enough that there is room for more in this series, which I personally hope there is as I haven’t gotten enough of Ashley and Thomas and I would love to see where Ford takes this next.”  About the Author
Beth Ford is a historical fiction author living in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Her novels include In the Time of Spirits, Love Between Times, and After the Spirits Come: A Continuation of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. She is also the author of the Cassie Woods, Reporter historical mystery romance novella series. She is currently writing the sequel to Love Between Times. Beth lives with her two cats, Rajah and Charlie, in a house built in 1889. You can find her every Thursday at trivia night with her friends. I'd been in a bit of writer quicksand. Several books that are works in progress got stuck in the messy middle. I needed a palette cleanser. What to do? Agent Carters are always fun to write, and I often drive past an old abandoned abbey outside of a town near me. When I put my fingers to the keyboard to do research, something didn't sit right with me. After mulling over the problem, I realized what was bothering me. I was taking something that had been dedicated to God and turning it into a paranormal ghost story. Now I love paranormal. I love a ghost story. But this building needed more from me. I sank myself into research. The original place was called Red Gate Farm in the 1800s, and was owned by a man who also owned two local newspapers. My imagination took off. There's been a lot of tongue wagging about several topics I touch on in the story. Eminent domain is one of them. Is your property really your property? News. When does it cross over from relaying information to being a commentary? Political influence and how it shapes our lives and community, and the people it hurts. I'm not promoting any side. Truly. Both sides are guilty of influence peddling, in my opinion. What I want to express is what happens to regular people when these things converge upon them. My writing is relational, not out to prove a side. About how we can make a difference in the lives of others. How faith can comfort and guide us. There are a lot of experiences from my past that I've folded into the story. Life on the farm. Having horses. Being involved in animal rescue with dogs and cats. I also added one of my favorite animals, goats. If you've been following me, you know that I've utilized my local farmers' market to a great extent this year. I've canned and frozen a lot of fresh produce. It also brought to mind things that I'd nearly forgotten from my years living on a farm. Now, I would like to introduce you to Red Gate Farm |
