Bella Street Romance Goes Retro

  FIRST DAY FREE BOOK! Not an April Fool's joke, either! AuthorXP has a promotion for FREE BOOKS on the first day of each month. This month, the first book in my time travel romance series ( Time Travel By Design )  called MID-CENTURY MAYHEM will be FREE.  If you like time travel, romance, and mid-century modern decor, I think you will enjoy this romp from Nashville modern day to the 1950s Detroit in the time of the nation's first giant shopping mall, Northland.  TIME TRAVEL IS ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL YOU HAVE TO WEAR A GIRDLE!

Olivia Haugen and Kyle Daniels have no idea why they've ended up in 1954 Michigan, but it's probably not because of all the swank mid-century furnishings. Discovering the reason might have something to do with a wily salvage warehouse own...

UPDATE: Congrats to Felicia R. for being randomly chosen to win the sunburst clock! Thanks to everyone else who participated, and if you haven't yet, sign up for my email list so you never miss another chance to win fun stuff. You know when something seemed like a good idea at the time? Well, readers of my blog know that the cover above is different from the original of this book's release a couple of weeks ago. To wit: Coming up with a book cover is always a tricky proposition, and while I liked the original at the time, I didn't LOVE it. So I had a new one made. And I didn't even need to go back in time to do it.  What do you think? Terrible mistake? Huge improvement? Love/hate 'em both? Leave a comment below (and sign up for my email list if you haven't already), and if you include your email address with your comment (for notification), I'll enter you in a fun contest for a chance to win this swank mid-century modern sunburst clo...
