Just when Jane Peterson, a history geek in small-town Georgia, hits the refresh button on her life, a devastating event thrusts her into a raging siege with brutal consequences. 2012 resets to 1862, Savannah, Georgia, during the bloodiest conflict in American history.

Jane's ghostly appearance is a bad omen to the doomed Confederate soldiers at Fort Pulaski. In a chilling twist, the charitable heart of a handsome lieutenant and the arrogance of a Union general compel her to cross hostile enemy lines and seek shelter with strangers. In a story of good and evil, murder, intrigue and the supernatural, she must survive in another century. One hundred fifty years from everything she knows and loves, Jane cannot escape the grim truth that her existence in the past alters the future and puts lives in danger.

Vanished on her twenty-fourth birthday without a trace! Medical student Bryce McKenzie and Jane Peterson have shared a unique bond since childhood. But when exactly did she capture his heart? Refusing to accept Jane's death, Bryce vows never to give up on the girl he loves. With the help of Sophie Downing, the only witness to Jane's freak disappearance, he searches for the key to unlock an impossible mystery.

The Lincoln Penny * The Lover's Eye * The Celtic Key: Empathy, humanity and love tangled and interwoven across time. A many-layered drama far above standard time fiction.
