Jennifer Kovich, a retired teacher with plenty of free time, often reminisces about her past. In particular, she can’t help but think back to her time as a groupie in the seventies and dating her rockstar boyfriend, Dylan Anderson.

But one night, as she daydreams about being back in the club where she met Dylan in 1976, something strange happens: she physically finds herself back in the very same nightclub.
Unbeknownst to her, Dylan has cast a spell to transport both of them back in time. He longs for their relationship to be restored and for an era where he felt he belonged.

She has taught in many states in the US and provided reading services for students at a private school on Grand Cayman, where she lived with her husband for nine years. She was a city gal, living in Orange County, California until fate whisked her away to the Caribbean where life was very different from the one she was accustomed to. Trading in her fashionable heels for flip-flops was quite a change, but led to a lifestyle that allowed for a writing career to begin.

Her love for paranormal stories and urban legends began at a young age, when staying up all night to watch spooky movies or reading a scary book started a lifelong passion.

Published novels include: Losing Ground, a short memoir, followed by Mysteries of the Red Coyote Inn, Out of the Ashes, Jonathan's Locket, The Last Vestal Virgin and Beloved Sacrifice. These novels are paranormal with a mix of historical fiction, woven with urban legends and suitable for young adults to adults. A Rock Star Reader by Kindergarten is a self-help guide for parents on creating a successful reader and lifelong lover of literacy. The Good Teacher and On Borrowed Time are her latest works in the Women of the Willow Wood Series. This Award Winning series is based on legends of an underground secret society of women who use ancient magic.
Supernatural thriller, Jonathan’s Locket was a 2014 winner in the Readers’ Favorite contest, earning a Silver Award and a finalist in the Wind Dancer Film Contest. This Young Adult novel featured some of the island legends out of Grand Cayman surrounding the shipwreck of The Ten Sails.

Lorraine Carey is one of my favorite writers. Her novels are always intriguing, exciting and amazing. Each one of her books had me hooked from the first page to the last. I had been waiting for her next book and here it is!!!!!!! “BETWEEN THE REALMS”
The author has outdone herself in this fabulous novel. The characters are wonderful and the plot is filled with adventure, romance and danger from the beginning to the very end. Time travel is my favorite topic. I walked around the house with the book in my hand I just could not put it down.
I loved Dylan’s desire to go back in time and relive some of the happiest moments in his life. Jennifer was the girl he loved back in the 70s and he decided to take her back with him to a time when everything seemed to be so perfect and so simple.
The desire to go back was accomplished but never they realized the dangers they had to face while trying to get back to the present time.
This is and irresistible plot that will keep you captivated in each word and each page. I finished the book but I wanted more.
This is a book I would recommend to anyone who loves time travel, excitement, danger and romance. Good job Lorraine!!!!!!!!!

In the present, Dylan Anderson, former lead guitarist of the 70s rock band Ablaze, dreams of his glory days and his former lover, Jennifer Kovich. When he finds a way to travel back in time, he uses a spell that transports Jennifer to 1976. Unaware of Dylan's actions, Jennifer is taken aback when she finds herself as a young woman in 1976. She meets Dylan, and their mutual attraction soon leads to a passionate affair. However, Jennifer also misses her old life and her loved ones in the future. She teams up with a young university student named Paul, who uses his connections with Orion's Path, a cult, to help Jennifer find her way back to the future. But the cult's leader, Troy Duncan, has his own plans.
If you're a fan of time travel romance stories, Between the Realms is just the book you're looking for.

Busting All the Right Moves!
Author Lorraine Carey’s novel in the genre of Time Travel Romance is “ablaze” with passion between groupie, Jennifer Kovich, and lead guitarist of a local band, Dylan Anderson. The author busts all the right moves bringing the Seventies alive through infusing the story with time-sensitive fashion, glittery makeup, a rooster-motif kitchen, muscle cars, strobe lights, and whatever rocked the era.
The edgy story featuring characters who step out of the pages and into the reader’s psyche, is fraught with suspense, danger, sinister motives, and heartwarming family dynamics. The concepts of time travel woven throughout are plausible and scientifically digestible.
I highly recommend ‘Between the Realms’ which pulsates with all the electrifying energy of “Smoke on the Water”.

Take a Journey Between the Realms, a time-traveling adventure with Dylan, a lead guitarist stuck in a mysterious cult, and his blast from his past girlfriend, Jennifer Kovich. This story will take you to an incredible place of magic, secrets, action, danger, and much more.
I was intrigued by the author's writing and imagination. She took me out of my reality and into her mind with so many plots and twists that I had to turn the page for more. It was in the 70 era, which I enjoyed immensely.
I highly recommend this captivating tale.

I felt as though I was back in the 70's along with the main character with the author describing the settings so vividly. I enjoyed reading about the science behind the time travel methods used. I was torn just as Jennifer was whether to stay in the past or return to the future. A highly recommended romance read!
