Time travel romances have always been among my favorite genres to read and I've even a attempted several in my writing. That was what immediately captured my interest in the writing of Beth Trissel. She is the guest today in My Writing Corner. Beth says she lives on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia surrounded by her human family and furbabies.
She describes herself an an avid gardener and uses her love of herbs and heirloom plants in her writing. She says she is also inspired in her writing by the rich history of Virginia, the Native Americans, and the people who journeyed from far beyond Virginia's borders. She's especially drawn to colonial America and the drama of the American Revolution and she loves ghost stories. In addition to Young Adult and New Adult fantasy romance, she also writes historical, time travel, and paranormal romance, plus nonfiction. Beth, please tell us about your latest work.
Two things that most inspired
me were Edith's
Theme, the
hauntingly beautiful song from the Crimson
Peak soundtrack, and
my love of old
homes. I've lived in them most of my life, and visited plenty. I also love
gardening and have sprawling beds filled with heirloom flowers and herbs. Some plants
have been here for ages and our farm-house was built in the 1870's. Old homes
exude an indefinable sense of place, and are never really empty. Perhaps
the spirits of those who once dwelt there come back and visit, or leave a part
of themselves behind. I don't know, but I like a good ghost story.
Harrison Hall, the colonial era home in Somewhere My Lady, is loosely
based on Shirley Plantation, a magnificent 18th century home, built along the
James River in Virginia. In the story, this wonderful manor sized house is a
paranormal hot spot, concealing a deadly mystery Hart and Lorna must solve.
"Somewhere My Lady is a fun supernatural romance that will have you slipping in and out of the past and future as if you were a spirit yourself." -- Colleen’s Book Reviews
Lorna Randolph is hired for the summer at Harrison Hall in
Virginia, where Revolutionary-War re-enactors provide guided tours of the
elegant old home. She doesn't expect to receive a note and a kiss from the
handsome young man who then vanishes into mist.
Harrison Hall itself has plans for Lorna – and for Hart Harrison,
her momentary suitor and its 18th century heir. Past and present are bound
by pledges of love, and modern science melds with old skills and history as
Harrison Hall takes Lorna and Hart through time in a race to solve a mystery
and save Hart's life before the Midsummer Ball.~
