by Tempie W. Wade

WINNER OF BEST HISTORICAL FANTASY OF 2019 in the American Book Fest American Fiction Awards.This time-travel fantasy adventure will take you on a magical journey back to the Revolutionary War at a time when loyalties are tested and the secrets that you keep very well could get you killed.Maggie Bishop has no idea what cosmic force shook her up and spit her back out 253 years in the past, and she has no clue on how to get home. What she does know is that she needs to find a way to survive in the not-so-modern world that she has been thrust into. With the American Revolutionary War on the horizon, Maggie uses her knowledge of the future to create a new life with the sole intent of steering clear of trouble and keeping her loved ones safe from the devastation of war. However, when a simple twist of fate intervenes, Maggie finds herself not only owed a debt by General George Washington but also caught up in the early stages of the Culper Spy Ring. Torn between protecting the man that she loves, one that she knows she can never have, and the life of her best friend, both on opposite sides of the conflict, Maggie must find a way to walk a fine line between two worlds, or risk changing everything that history says is meant to be. Take a stroll down the streets of Williamsburg and Philadelphia while being introduced to a few of its real-life citizens during the time of the American Revolution in a tale where fantasy and history are intertwined into a story that you will not soon forget.

If you enjoyed Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, then readers will enjoy this novel (first in a series), A Timely Revolution, which like Outlander, has a heroine from the future who magically ends up in the past, during the time a historical war happens. Real historical figures mesh with fictional, plus romance. Ms. Wade handles historical facts and figures well, adding her spin in this book. I cannot wait for the second novel in the series and what happens to Maggie next.

I love this book! Being from Williamsburg, I appreciate that the author spent a great deal of time researching the area and the people of 18th century Williamsburg. It's entertaining, the characters are well-written, and it's not at all predictable or hokey.
Maggie, the main character, realizes quickly that she has to fit in to her new surroundings if she's going to survive, and does so brilliantly. This is one of my biggest issues with the main character of another popular time-travel series. I know you're an independent 20th century woman, but you need to ACT like a woman from the eighteenth century, or you're going to arouse suspicion and get accused of Witchcraft or of being a spy/traitor/fill in the blank. Happily, none of this is the case with A Timely Revolution.
This book is the first of a series, so the first part introduces characters, settings, and storylines, but still moves quickly and draws you into their world.
I predict that Tempie Wade will land on a lot of Best New Author lists--can't wait for the next book!

If you love history and you love romance and mystery, then this is for you! Being set in Virginia with all of Virginia's history is a huge plus, and the time travel aspect added to it makes it a winner. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this first book in the series. The author managed to make the characters feel like people I really knew; I'm vested in them now and want to see what's next in their lives. I can't wait to get the next two books to see what happens next.

Excellent book. The characters are well thought out. The weaving of historical fact, fiction, and fantasy meshed seeminglessly well together. I laughed with the characters, felt sympathy for the characters, as though I were right there with them as part of the story. It draws you right in. I cannot wait to read the second book in this series. Highly recommend if you are a history buff with a flare for fantasy and even a bit of the supernatural.

Love love love this series! Set in my favorite place, Williamsburg VA, it’s an amazing mix of history and supernatural fantasy! Great characters and fun subplots!

3.5 stars. Not bad. A fairly typical "woman mysteriously sent back in time" novel that avoided the descent into bodice-ripping that most such books do. The historical setting, characterization, and story-line were interesting enough that I'll likely read the next in the series.

[Allison]

This feels to me like a combination of Outlander and the TV show Turn. Fans of either show will probably enjoy this. A lively and romantic time travel story in the subgenre of a modern person traveling back in time and getting involved in famous events and meeting legendary historic names.

[Cathy]

Fun time-travel historical fiction.

[Amy]

A very very nice book. A quick read. A book I could not put down. Cannot wait to read all the others.

Engrossing. Great detail about the revolutionary war. Characters are believable and made humane. I was sad to let them go. Brilliant work. Conrad
