Product Description

Tricia Lancaster, a reporter for a small time newspaper volunteered to cover the story of Dean McCloud's life. Even though the actor died before she was born, she felt a connection to him. She thought if she wrote the story, her curiosity would be satisfied and she could move on with her life. When she's miraculously transported back in time and she finds out it's a few days before Dean killed himself, she realizes she has a chance to save him. However, after meeting the overconfident movie star, she's convinced he didn't kill himself. Someone else pulled the trigger. Dean McCloud thinks Tricia is trippin' when she tells him she's from the future. However, when Tricia's predictions start coming true, Dean realizes maybe she's not a crazy chick after all. Someone murdered him and they have until the Stroke of Midnight on New Years Eve to find out who wants him dead. (Note: Previous release Amazon Short. Revised and edited by Otherworldly Romances.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful... A connection through time..., July 29, 2007

By	Tory Lynn (Cedar City, UT USA) - See all my reviews

I absolutely loved this story. This author has great dialogs, well thought out characters and an awesome story line. This story kept my attention from start to finish and I recommend it to anyone who loves a time travel story with a touch of romance.

The connection the main character feels towards a man who was thought to have committed suicide thirty years before is the link that brings them together through time. Her purpose is to find out the truth in spite of the mans disbelief in who she says she is.

I am looking forward to reading more of this authors work. Nice job.

5.0 out of 5 stars California Reader, June 28, 2007

By	Cathy A. Nickol "California Reader" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read Lost in the Mist of Time and loved the way the author blended the history with the time travel. I couldn't put this book down, so I decided to read the short story. I wasn't disappointed.

A reporter, Trisha Lancaster is transported back to the 1970's when Dean McCloud, a movie star is making it big. Trisha knows how Dean dies and is determined to save him from certain death. Dean thinks she's cute, but nuts until she tells him things no one else could know. I truly enjoyed this time travel short. I can't wait for her to write another one.

Tricia, a reporter has been dreaming about this movie star, Dean McCloud who committed suicide over thirty years ago. She volunteers to interview all the people who come every year to his house to pay homage. While in his house she falls asleep and travels back in time to see Dean alive and good looking as ever. She realizes she has a chance to stop him from ending his life, only she isn't so sure he's the one who ended it.
This had a great twist to it. Enjoyed the read!
