Sophie's life is made up of her work (as a manager to classical musicians), her dog, and the fact that she is still in love with Ian, after a decade of on-again, off-again limbo. Then one day Henry VIII (young, gorgeous, "the Tudors" Henry, not the corpulent Henry he would become) shows up imparting wisdom while he's on a mysterious afterlife quest. While the irony of accepting romantic advice from the ghost of a man who managed to marry 6 times and kill 2 of his wives doesn't elude Sophie, she has to admit that he's making some good points, and suddenly things start to look very different. (This is a draft of a NaNoWriMo novel that I'm in the process of editing. Would love any feedback!)

A novel of time travel and self discovery. Natasha Delancourt, Editor-in-Chief of a publishing company, wakes up the morning after Halloween with a massive hangover, and a huge problem when a photo of her from the night before has gone viral. And it's not a good photo. Advised by her company PR to get out of London and turn off her phone, she takes the train to Cambridge. Determined to figure out how her life has gone so sideways, and how she can get it back on track, she makes an afternoon pilgrimage to Evensong service at King's College, an ancient chapel in the heart of Cambridge. Then things get weird. Feeling moved by the music and surroundings, she closes her eyes and then the world gets dark. She wakes up in the same place, but a very different time.... **This was my NaNoWriMo book from last year 2014, and I'm putting it up on Wattpad in order to get feedback as I continue through the editing process. I'm hoping I can self publish it in the next few months, though I'm going to spend this November working on a new idea that's been percolating in my head, and then come back to it with fresh eyes in December. Please leave comments or send me an email with your thoughts and feedback! Thank you!**
