< Surrogate Evil: A Lee Nez Novel (Lee Nez) > Aimee Thurlo

TIMEWALKER is not a completely awful book, but it's not worth the price of ordering it out-of-print. Buy it from a used book store for fifty cents and be prepared to throw it away when you're finished.
TIME AFTER TIME

To save his people, Navajo medicine man Benjamin Two Eagles poured his soul into an ancient amulet. For over one hundred years he had been lost in time, until a beautiful woman set him free into a world he did not understand.

She was a tough-as-nails special agent with the FBI, but Julia Stevens was also a woman, and not invulnerable to the magnificent warrior she had released into this century. But Benjamin's quest to avenge the wrongs done to his people went against every law she'd sworn to uphold.

Could they find a way to let justice be done before another grain of sand dropped in time's hourglass and Benjamin was forced to once again walk through time?

This book is definately a keeper. I can see myself rereading it over and over again. It is a shame it had to end. Please Elaine write a sequel to it. Perhaps you could explain why, what happened to him as a child did happen to him. I'd love to know.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Ms. Fox's, The Imposter. From the first page to the last, it kept me entertained. Flynn is a pretty down to earth guy who tries to cope with his change in circumstances. He doesn't want to believe that he was thrust back in time any more than Mel wants to believe him. At first everything is a big joke and doesn't quite seem real. As it dawns on Flynn that everything is quite real, he faces the situation with a typical modern American male attitude: brazen your way out. Ms. Fox shows the reader how vastly different 1815 moral standards are from 1998 ones. Flynn just can't grasp why everyone cares so much what everyone else thinks. Mel can't figure out this uncouth, brash American who seems to be no gentleman but who wears fine clothes and is educated. Class distinction is so important in 1815 she doesn't know where to categorize Flynn. This dichotomy is one of the points which makes this book work so well.

Next, Ms. Fox does a wonderful job with the time travel element. Up until the very end Mel doesn't fully believe Flynn has come through time. Unlike so many time travel novels where the opposite lead believes in the time traveler's story in a matter of hours or days, she actually thinks him a little insane until all the pieces of the puzzle start coming together. The ultimate tie-in between future and past was well done. The weakest link in the story is our heroine Mel. Although I realize she is supposed to be a product of her time, she comes across as a conniving, graspy female as opposed to a supportive mate. She is so upset about having to marry "beneath" her station that I felt her acceptance of Flynn was too close in the plot to his reversal of fortune. Does she really love him, or does she only accept him now because he's not a nobody? Although she gives lip service to the fact that she is marring Flynn because of her sister's reputation, I found her motives to be self-centered and extremely spoiled. I am surprised Flynn agreed to the marriage.

All and all, this is a great story, one you don't want to miss!
Oh this book was sooo good! I read it so fast because my friend let me read it before her and I just couldn't put it down. It was my weekend accomplishment it was all I could do. I would put it down and pick it right back up. This was a unique story line and I couldn't predict what was going on. It kept me on the edge of my seat just like an action movie. I seriously think you should give this one a chance and get to know the characters you will fall in love with them.
The Imposter picks you up and takes you with it on a path of intrique, romance, travel and intellectual and erotic excitement. When the last page turns you are breathless with desire to go on with the lives of these characters. My only criticism of the book is that the story had to end! A book to pass on to friends who love to read and enjoy a fast paced, unexpected romp. This book was a delight. I read it from cover to cover and felt I had been off to Britain on hoilday.

This is a fascinating book! It is fast paced and quite intriguing. I have always thought that the more believable time travels were such as this, where it is the soul transported, or the `essence' of the person rather than the body that gets catapulted back into time. Ms. Kelleher appears to have done a marvelous job of research in describing the historical elements of the time period. All lovers of time travel should look to acquire this book for their keeper shelves! Superb read!
Anne Kelleher knows how to draw a reader into a story. From the opening battle scene, I was completely hooked. Indeed, I had to read that paragraph several times - it is the most gruesome, and I imagine, the most realistic description of a medieval battle that I have ever read. There is a gritty reality to the entire narrative, the author gives the impression that she has studied this period in great detail and displays an admirable ability to transport her readers there. Her writing is clear, crisp, and evocative. It is a charming story without a hint of the corniness, so often found in this genre. I highly recommend this book to my friends - even to those who are wary of reading romance or time travel!

I would like to be able to share this book with more people. Any chance that the publisher will print more?
I hope they'll do another print run of this book for those of you who haven't read it yet -- it's a wonderful blending of accurate history with romance. It reminded me a bit of Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," with the hero's modern sensibilities hitting up against a medieval environment. I adored the love story, and found it easy to suspend disbelief because the author did a great job of having the romance unfold naturally. Full of visceral detail, this book almost made me wish I could step in an English castle and vanish into the past.
This is probably one of the best time-travels I've ever read. It's rich with history, and the characters are completely believable. I thought the author did a particularly great job with the hero--I could really fall in love with him!
Did you ever wonder how in most time travel stories, the time-traveller always seems to fit in so seemlessly and effortlessly into their new environment? Did you ever wonder how time-travellers always seem to be able to speak the language of whatever environment they are thrust into? Did you ever wonder what it would really be like to find yourself in another time, where you didn't have a clue what anyone around you was saying?

In her latest novel, A ONCE AND FUTURE LOVE, Anne Kelleher has created a story which actually seems to take the reader into the past, with all of its uncomfortable realities, sights, sounds, smells, and customs.

Anne Kelleher's novel revolves around a middle-aged 20th century man named Richard Lambert, who after his wife passes away, travels to England only to fall to his death while exploring a medeival castle, and awakens in the body of a cruel, young ancestor in the 13th century. But unlike most time travel stories, Richard quickly realizes that he cannot speak the language, has no understanding of the customs, and has to deal with the reality of a 20th century man finding himself in a barbaric and primitve period with almost no understanding of the world around him. And to make things even worse, the body he finds himself in is severely wounded, near death, and it quickly becomes clear to him that everyone around him would rather see him dead that alive.

As in her previous three novels, Anne Kelleher demonstrates that her sense of the medeival world is detailed and acute. She forces Richard to deal with the harsh realities of the time period that he has found himself in, from the smells of the people around him and the ill tasting foods, to a 13th century wife who both fears and loathes him as a slave would feel towards its master.

The only convenience Anne Kelleher takes is to have Richard conveniently wounded in the neck long enough to slowly pick up the language and get some sense of bearings in his new world. But aside from this, her writing is extraordinary with almost poetic imagery and detail.

A ONCE AND FUTURE LOVE is clearly one of the best works of its type that has been written in modern literature. Kelleher's novel is far beyond just another time-travel romance.....rather, it is a story which truly makes the reader feel that they have visited the world that she has created, and by the end of the novel, makes the reader want to go back for even more of an absolutely unique experience.
England, 1994. When Richard Lambert's beloved wife dies, he thinks he will never find love again. Until, while exploring a medieval tower, he falls from the steps--and into another time... England, 1214. When he wakes, he's in the body of his ancestor, who is near death from battle. As his wife nurses him back to health, she finds he is not the cruel man she knew. And he discovers a second chance--with his one and only love...
