#TimeTravelAuthors Day 13 How realistic is your story? Well, I sold the story as "Outlander meets The Handmaid's Tale" and with the current state of the world, it might be quite realistic. The book is Her Highlander Choice, and my publisher went out of business, so the book is in a state of flux.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 11 My favorite time travel trope is the "fish out of water" scenario, where the "traveler" encounters something for which they have no context.

I don't do #newyearsresolutions, but I do set goals and choose a word that targets those goals. I'm heading into uncharted territory in 2026 with new professional and personal adventures and the release of the first book in a new series. #Explore seemed perfect.

I consider the beginning of my writing career journey to be when I first attended a writing conference back in 2010. It signified the first time I considered myself an author, even though it would be another ten years before I became a published writer.

#HappyNewYear! May 2026 bring you luck and love!

As my holiday gift to you, I'm offering Pinwheels, Potions, and Possibilities from December 1-5, 2025. www.amazon.com/Pinwheels-Po... Backcover: I'm a witch whose love-potion-laced pinwheel cookies went to the wrong man. Only time...and a little bit of holiday magic...will tell if he's Mr. Right.

I've been out of touch for a bit while I recover from knee surgery and a broken ankle (both happened on the same day)--long story that only I could manage to pull off. I'm able to begin to transition myself away from the boot, which is the best present ever & I'm getting back to work. So thankful!

#TimeTravelAuthors -Day 11 "Most" The Council reaffirms that we need the reproductive power of the three elder Bain females. The document approved by Dallis, their mother and the world’s most fertile Repopulator, gives consent for Taryn, Fia, and Iona Bain to complete this mission to the past.

October 11-12 only, stuff your e-reader and get your #paranormalromancereads fix at possessivelyparanormal.com! I'm participating with my book, Witches, Werewolves, and War. Enjoy! #paranormalromancereaders #paranormalromancebooks #paranormalromanceauthor

Can you dig it? My alter-ego Evie Kelley’s debut book, MY BICENTENNIAL, is out today. This #comingofage tale of the far-out Bicentennial year 1976, follows Massachusetts high school senior Deidre Daly’s often hilarious (and occasionally disastrous) attempts to fit in. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPBMHHF4

#TimeTravelAuthors #7 Answering this question as Taryn Bain. Something odd/weird I experienced is the first time I experienced life outside the dome. I liked the novelty of rain at first...but after three days of the wet stuff, I'd be happy to be back in the temperature-modulated dome.

#TimeTravelAuthors Oct 7 Something weird you've experienced? "To die and wake up at the center of time is by far the weirdest thing that ever happened to me. And then to die again in order to return..." #TimeCurves #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 1--Answer as your character I'm Taryn Bain. The year is 2352, and the world is largely infertile. I will lead a team involving my younger twin sisters and the biological (my sire) to travel to 1400s Scotland. Our mission: To find fertile partners & return to 2352. Pregnant.

#October! The month of my birthday and #Halloween. The decorating has begun...

Buy my book? (Or read it through Hoopla?) books2read.com/TV And/or join us for a weird #TimeTravelAuthors next month (character POV edition)! Hope to see you then!

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 29 My favorite line in the book is the last one--The best beginnings start with rain. It mirrors something that happens to the main character early on in the book when she encounters rain for the first time. She hates it. She's lived in a dome her entire life.

"Even so, your daughter seems healthy and happy, and you've fixed and maintained every machine and appliance that's been put in front of you. I've never heard an engine as quiet as your Ford's. You're so careful when you drive, too." #WIPSnips #Vibes #HistorytownAZ

#TimeTravelAuthors #27 His heat invaded my skin, my bones, my marrow, giving me a sense of home. I pulled back enough to see his eyes. I wanted to tell him I loved him, but my family’s precarious position held me back. Unpleasant choices loomed ahead, choices I didn’t want to consider.

#TimeTravelAuthors 9/21 You know how they say time has no meaning when you're in love? Well, @fenleygrant.bsky.social's romantic sizzler "The Fountain of Youth" puts a new spin on the expression! Read it in The Accidental Time Travelers Collective, vol. 3: www.amazon.com/Accidental-T...

#TimeTravelAuthors 9/23 How about this for time travel? It was 11 years ago today that I published my first novel. And now here's "Ghost Life," the prequel short story to my most recent novel, MYRIAD! www.amazon.com/Accidental-T...

#TimeTravelAuthors 23--Anger The surrounding storm clouds mirrored my anger, but I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of a retort. Wretched man. A sodden mass of hair slipped into my face. I needed a hair tie. And a cleanse. And a change of companions. My shoes squelched in the mud in agreement.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 17: “Thought you’d be glad to see me.” “I am. Because we need to have words. Lots of words. You left, dumping me in 1943, a stranger in a strange land.” “I’ve been watching you. So far, you're doing a dismal job. Mission unaccomplished.” The mission. The fricking mission.

I certainly never expected to hold a civil conversation with Alistair Seymour Rochester the Fourth, let alone agree to save him if he ceases to exist. But it's been a #strange couple of days. #TimeTravelAuthors

D17. Strange. #timetravelauthors #writingcommunity #amquerying #speclit #amediting #authors #thrillerwriters #wipsnips #revspirations

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 17 "Strange" Someone called my name, and I opened an eye to a strange room, an unfamiliar ceiling. Memory kicked in, and I glanced to my right. No Ranulf. Lonely way to start our wedded life. Abandoned in my marriage bed. #timetravelromance #timetravelauthor

I wrote a first chapter in a new piece this week--this hasn't happened in a while. I've been editing and completing other works. I love first chapters. They're filled with possibilities... #amwritingparanormalromance #paranormalromanceauthor #paranormalromancereads #amwriting #firstchapter

#TimeTravelAuthors No miracles in Beryl Blue, Time Cop's world, but there are coincidences. Or, *seem* like coincidences. In 1941-set A Moment After Dark, Addie considers her power to see the future a curse, but hopes to perform a miracle & prevent her vision of an attack in Hawaii from coming true

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 15--Miracles I guess the biggest miracle is that they can travel through time at all...and a miracle they survived the trip. They travel through the use of transport rooms and a device implanted in the base of their skull.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 13 "Fire" I pushed open the door. My stomach dropped. The room wasn’t empty. He sat on the stool by the hearth, a lit fire casting reddish hints to his skin, reminding me of what I always imagined the character of Satan resembled. Handsome and devilish and seductively evil.

#September112001 was one of those "where were you" moments in time for me. I lived outside of DC, in Virginia, and I'd just returned from the store. I was getting my kids out of their car seats and heard what I thought was a power transformer blowing. It was the Pentagon being hit. #neverforget

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 9 Tone of the Story Her Highlander Choice is a #timetravelromance set in both 2352 and 1400s Scotland, so I guess the tone is #futuristicromance / #historicalromance.

Happy #NationalStarTrekDay! In honor of this occasion, I'm posting a pic from a few years ago from the FF&P Gathering. We won the costume contest that year. I still have the Spock outfit. Picured with Sharla Wylde and Amanda Reid. #fantasyromanceauthors #paranormalromanceauthors #futuristicromance

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 7 The smartest character in Her Highlander Choice is the main character's father--Torquil MacLeod. He has an eidetic memory and HSAM, so his recall is near perfect, and he can apply what he recalls. He's a historian/archivist. #timetravelromance #timetravelromanceauthor

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 25 Writing advice I like: "GEMO: Good enough, move on." This isn't necessarily targeted to writing, but it's a phrase my best friend says to me when I'm being overly perfectionistic about my first draft chapters. With how my process works, I can always fix drafts in edits.

Happy #nationaldogday to my Luca, #italiangreyhound extraordinaire! #dogsofbluesky #italiangreyhoundsofbluesky #iggiesofbluesky

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 23 Raasay. Our domeless home. “We're home, Ran.” I leaned closer and rested my chin against his chest. His heart thudded in reassuring beats against my throat. Water sluiced my face and slicked my hair. A laugh bubbled up and burst. Rain. The best beginnings start with rain.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 19 Nicknames In my short story "The Mission," which is a prequel to Her Highlander Choice, in Lure of the Hunt, the main character is genetically enhanced (by birth, not by choice). The male main character calls Jane "Scarlet" in reference to her unnatural hair color.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 11 "cold/freezing" She goes from living in a temperature-controlled dome to living outside in unpredictable weather--like rain. "The cold had invaded, laying an icy siege on my marrow and taking up residence. After this outdoor experience, I’d take dome living any time."

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 9--"Strong" My stomach twisted, the truth an ulcer. No matter what I said, no matter how I explained, no matter how strong Ranulf's genetics proved to be, reality sat on its dais, pronouncing sentence. Director Davis would never approve of him. Never. #TimeTravelRomance

#BookMeRomance I'll be signing from ten to four at the August 16th Book Me Romance event in Fort Smith, Arkansas, at the Fort Smith Convention Center. If you'll be in the area, come see me! #paranormalromance #timetravelromance

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 7 How often do they time travel? They travel to achieve their mission, so they leave, complete the mission, then return to their time. In Her Highlander Choice, they're gone for a few months. Time span: 2352 to 1400 and back to the year 2352. #timetravelromance

#TimeTravelAuthors #Day3 Based on a solo meal I ate when I was having a tough time with my kids, my FMC no longer gets to go out to dinner in #Chapter2.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 3 Deleted sentence or scene. I rewrote the beginning chapters of this book, no lie, twenty times. The sheer volume of words I've cut from this book in its many stages of development would not meet the word count requirements for posts. This is why you have an editor.
