Alan and Celia

I have some really awesome news. Some of you might remember a time travel romance novella I've been trying to sell lately, called A Question of Time (you can see the characters here, here, and here). Well... I now have a contract with Champagne Books! A Question of Time is going to be published next year-- Nov. 2012 to be exact-- so mark your calendars, everyone!

So, here is the hero and heroine from QoT-- Alan and Celia. If you're wondering why Alan is dressed in such a dated way, it's because he's from the 1980s. But Celia is not. Here's a bit more of what the story is about:

Successful author Celia Cavalotti is still mourning the death of her favorite teacher, who died in a car crash in 1989. But when a car crash of her own hurtles her back in time to the week of his death, she finally has a chance to set things right.

Finding herself in the 1980s is a shock to the extremely modern Celia-- but even more shocking is seeing her dead English teacher, Alan Forrest, alive before her very eyes. Alan is far more handsome than she remembers, and she can't resist the urge to flirt. After all, they have so much in common, like writing and a shared love of science fiction. Celia knows she's falling in love with him-- but can she use this opportunity to prevent his tragic death? What is happening to her? And why can't she seem to stay in one place and time?
