After all, she and Donald have been married for almost 45 years; it just doesn't seem possible! Devastated at the thought of Donald having an affair with a woman five years older than herself and a bit on the frumpy side, Susan begins toying with her necklace again. And, as she does, memories and unbidden thoughts of James, a member of the most famous band of all time, begin to invade both her mind and heart. Does the necklace hold some kind of magical power? Dare she return to the past to be with James once again and, if so, will he hate her for what she did to him, vanishing into thin air and crushing his heart to pieces? Or, would she be able to start fresh and renew their love once more? Would it even...dare she think it...be possible to stay in the past with him...to change history even?

What if you could travel back into the past to meet the man of your dreams at a time when it would be possible for him to fall in love with you? Susan does just that when she meets two ladies from Haiti while on a cruise with her childhood friend, Lynn. Mika, the elderly of the two ladies, claims she can see into Susan's soul and that if she sends her back in time to meet James, the man who Susan has dreamed of for fifty years, Susan will learn something important about him and about herself. Susan travels back to the year 1962 in her 17-year-old body where she meets James, age 20, a member of a band that will one day become the most famous band of all time. Susan is stunned and delighted when James is instantly drawn to her, inviting her out for tea and offering to walk her back to her hotel after the band quits playing for the night. But much to her consternation, Susan's 17-year-old hormones begin to play havoc with her 62-year-old brain, tempting her towards a relationship with James that she's not really certain she wants. Will James end up being the paragon Susan's always thought him to be? Or, will she learn that sometimes, when a dream comes true, it's not quite what you expected?

After Susan and Michelle return in despair from their time-travel journey back to 1999, Michelle resigns herself to a life of loneliness and Susan accepts the fact that she's lost James forever. James, a former member of the most famous band of all time, and Susan, the woman who's loved him for over fifty years, were to be married in a double ceremony on Christmas Day, 1999 with Thomas, James's son, and Michelle, Susan's daughter. It was not meant to be, however, when a gold-digging ex-courtesan, determined to have James for her own, exposes Susan as already being married. It's now August 2016 when Thomas is preparing for a move from London to Los Angeles and discovers the mobile phone Susan left behind. The "mysterious object," as he thought of it seventeen years earlier, is at the bottom of a box in his closet that he'd packed up with Michelle's things shortly after she and her mother vanished. When Brett, Thomas's friend who works for Apple, examines the phone, telling him it's an iPhone6 and there's no way he could have had it for seventeen years, both men are puzzled. Will the mystery of the phone be solved and will it lead Thomas back to Michelle? And, if Michelle and Thomas are reunited, is it possible that Susan and James will once again find themselves in each other's arms? After all, we know from Susan's previous forays into the past that history could not be changed, but what about the future? Will there finally be a "Happily Ever After" for James and Susan?

The first terraformed world, Tau Ceti Four, was now ready for colonization. Some called it Paradise, and it seemed a fitting name. The initial conditions before the terraforming began were perfect, too perfect for botanist Mora Torr. Something was not right. Engineer Gan Finn came over with the other colonists on the Ark Hope ship. He, like Mora, was as much running away from an anguished past as seeking Paradise. But twelve light-years distance itself does not cure broken hearts. "So, are there any alien jubjub birds, bandersnatches, or jabberwocks around here I should be worried about?" Laughter rolled from her mouth at the Alice in Wonderland reference. "Oh, nothing like that. It's not the big scary creatures we should worry about, besides other humans that is, but the tiny ones. History has shown us that things like bacteria, virus, and small parasites are the real killers. The deadliest creature in all the human history is a mosquito with a pathogen." ** Re-edited ** ** Open Novella II - Short List and Ambassador Pick ** ** Wattpad Editor's Choice (January 2020) **

Mathias glowers at me with those dull, yet bright eyes and all I can do is glare back at him. The air around us crackled with electricity and a raging fire from the pit of my stomach licked the back of my throat. I was ready to spit flames at him, scorch the smug smile off his face and leave him to burn like he does me. Instead I don't get the chance. His soft lips capture mine and I know I'm fighting a losing battle.
