INTO THE LURE OF TIME

April 23, 2024

A plan gone wrong. A rash decision. A thoughtless act.
The past always and forever hovers near.

I never thought I could become my own perpetrator.
I never dreamed I would be my own victim. 
I never expected to turn into a villain.

But every crime carries a punishment.

In this life, my name is Siena Forte Casey, and mine, I cannot bear.   

AUTHOR'S NOTE

In the first book, Through the Veneer of Time, my heroine learns that her past life visions are not the creative inspiration they seemed. Rather, they're a harbinger of her ancient revenge vow, and her FBI husband won't find the serial killer until she fulfills it. The central literary conflict there is the heroine vs. the villain, otherwise known as an age-old fight of good against evil.

 

In Into the Lure of Time, an adversary who is mentioned in passing in book one, emerges to play a key role. But while he is certainly villainous, this book explores a more subtle conflict. The underlying theme is an inquiry into the inner strife of a heroine against herself, as well as how a hero’s unendurable circumstances can turn him into a victim—or an antihero.

 

While the second book features a recurring cast and falls under the genres of time travel romance and historical thriller, it also carries darker undertones of domestic suspense.
