About the author

I have been enamored with history ever since childhood. Enthusiastically playing The Oregon Trail in the school computer lab, exploring museums and living history sites, devouring Sunfire romances, and watching Back to the Future, I hoped that I too would find a time machine someday. Indeed I have found a way to time travel—by researching the past that fascinates me so much. Writing historical fiction and academic historical nonfiction has brought to life that childhood desire to explore the world, past and present.

I enjoyed the epistolary format. I read it as we were traveling around the beautiful Isle of Skye which helped set the mood for the story. The story itself was a bit too slow for the first half of the book. The American character was not very believable for that time period. The story did pick up towards the end and I did like the dual plotline. In my opinion, it just took a little too long to form the series of letters together to make the story.
