Welcome to my page on the Dreaming of Summer blog hop. Are you dreaming of summer? Here’s your chance to win a beach read–a copy of my book For Whom My Heart Beats Eternal, which includes the novella and two time-travel short stories.
Last year at this time, I was working up to a six-week cold/flu/plague that started with a fever and ended with a persistent cough–with the peak happening right in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve. Christmas plans were cancelled, and my husband and I ended up eating the roast we bought for days and days afterward. Here’s to hoping this year is much happier!
In this time-travel novella incorporating sweet romance and science fiction, Anna, a young graduate student, has found her intellectual soul mate. She and Dr. Thomas Wellesley, forty years her senior, have been working on sensitive research involving time travel. She respects the man: he is married to his work and just as passionate about science as she is. He is her favorite part of the day and she’ll stop at nothing to help their research. When a rival professor threatens their research and their safety, Dr. Wellesley does everything in his power to protect Anna from harm. But in his effort to protect her, he inadvertently sends her back in time. Forty years back in time, to be exact—to a time when a young student named Tommy Wellesley is just embarking on his first degree in physics. And it’ll be up to young Tommy to see Anna safely back to her own time. If he can bear to lose her. This edition also includes two short time travel stories. “Suicide Watch” explores the more dangerous ramifications of time travel. After an unfortunate fight with the love of his life, Matthew Mitchell discovers a time machine. Tempted to win back his girlfriend, Matt takes the machine for a spin, only to find out that time travel is much more complicated than he expected, and the results are catastrophic. “Toward Every Future’s Past” is flavored with sci-fi and fantasy and examines the cyclical nature of time and man’s difficulty in comprehending it.

What a cool sounding book. Different. I like different! I love snow and cold for the holidays, but on Jan. 2nd when all the festivities are over, I want it to go away and be summer again!
I like Christmas but I do wish it was warmer.
I really like Christmas, not just because of presents and food (yum!) but also for the atmosphere, the lights, the snow. Well, I don’t enjoy the cold, but I have a fireplace and I can stay in front of it all the holidays, with a cup of cocoa and a book! ^_^
I love both summer and winter but if I had to choose one that would be eternity, I would pick winter. For me, it is much easier to warm up than to cool off.
Thanks for the giveaway. The book sounds great and I LOVE the cover.
Happy Holidays,
Marlena

One one side I love this time of year, but I hate the cold that goes with it.
I love winter, i love the cold and christmas!!
We don’t have snow here but we do have the wet season where it rains almost every day and people actually miss the sun.
I’m quite fond of winter, but I can definitely be honest in saying that sometimes I miss the warmth of the sun.
I love winter but sometime I do miss the warmth. Thanks for the chance to win!
I don’t like the cold or the snow. I wish for the warmer weather when we have snow especailly.
I love the cold. I always tell people who complain, that during the cold weather you can add more layers, grab a blanket, cuddle up with someone, the choices are limitless. But come summer and the heat, you can only get so naked. *grin*
I have been living in the other part of the world where you won’t be seeing any of the four seasons. It’s always hot and humid throughout the year. I had no idea how it is to be living in winter or summer, but winter looks like fun to me, with snows and everything (from the perspective of a girl who ‘experience’ winter from books, tv etc ;P)
Anyway, I’d choose a cold rainy day over a sizzling hot day anyday 😀
I`m actually really waiting for the snow,lol.
Thanks for the giveaway! 😉
I enjoy the winter and look forward to it! Its a nice break from all the heat from the summer. Christmas wouldn’t feel the same without the cold weather and snow. So no I don’t long for the summer during the winter.
I get so caught up in the holiday season I don’t think of summer but once it’s all over and January hits I cannot wait til the warm weather comes back!
I hate the cold but I love the Holidays. I really should move somewhere that has warm winters!
I enjoy both summer and winter, but I really prefer the cold, my dream is to see snow, because where I live we don’t get that.
I actually love the snow and the holidays, and I don’t mind the cold unless it’s the really bone-chilling kind. I can handle it when it is up to -30 degrees Celsius but, colder than that (and it often is for the entire month of January around here), then I tend to hibernate 🙂
While I do enjoy the holidays and the cold weather. I long for summer vacation. My family and I love lounging by the pool, no school and just doing our on thing. So, right now, I am dreaming of summer! Thank you for your wonderful giveaway…
I love the holidays but dont care much for the weather.
