Opis

A steampunk/science fiction romance novella. Colonel Carey (fromThe KeyandGirl Gone Nova) takes a test "flight" through the Garradian time-space portal, but an unexpected impact lands him somewhere and somewhen. As he attempts to get to Area 51, he crosses paths with Miss Olivia Carstairs, who could be Mary Poppins' twin sister. Or maybe her cousin. Olivia's got a transmogrification machine powered by steam and a mouth he'd like to kiss like it was his job. Can he convince her to join forces before she shoots him with her derringer? Praise for Tangled in Time: "Tangled in Time is a sweet read in so many respects. Ms. Jones is a wonderful writer whose well-written plots and likable characters always make for absorbing, exciting reads - the great news about that being that she has so many more characters from these first three books awaiting their own stories. I just hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one." Two Lips Reviews, 4 and 1/2 lips "This story moves quickly with warm characters, sweet interaction and quirky dialogue between a 1894 bluestocking girl and a 2010 soldier guy. There is a bit of suspense and mystery that kept me wondering. Again, this story could be read alone but has more meaning and connection with the past characters and situations when read in order in the series. I was sorry this one was so short and looked forward to the next book " Reviews by Martha's Bookshelf "Tangled in Time is a unique story in its self but also gives an added glimpse of favorite characters from Ms. Jones' The Key and Girl Gone Nova.The resulting humor when two people from different centuries meet and their use of their own technical vocabulary is delightfully portrayed. Well written plot, likable characters and a little twist at the end enhance the entertainment factor and leaves the reader wanting to know what will happen next.Please, don't leave us dangling too long Ms. Jones "SingleTitles.com This edition also includes: Two short stories from the Project Enterprise universe. Men in Jeans A romantic suspense mystery Richard Daniels thinks life can't any stranger working at Area 51until he gets assigned to find out where a Houston area SF writer gets the ideas for her books. Should be an easy assignment-if it weren't for the dead guy in her back yard and the non-business related ideas she's giving him. (Originally appeared in the Death in Texas anthology) Steam Time A romantic steampunk adventure The man formerly known as Tobias Smith hadn't planned to ride along with Dr. Everly and his Medicine Show. Grifters gave him a pain their elixirs couldn't heal. But he was headed to Marfa, too. And Everly's son turned out to be a really a fine looking damsel-one in distress when the ghost lights of Marfa bump them into an alternate reality complete with an automaton gang and airships. Could he be the good guy? Be the hero, save the day and get the girl?
