A Dance Through Time by J.P. Reedman
Isabella Lawrence is a photographer in modern day London. Her specialty is photographing old buildings prior to their restoration.
One night she goes on a shoot in a derelict theatre. As she takes her shots in the auditorium, she suddenly realises someone else, someone unknown, is in the building with her. Panicking, she runs out onto the stage–and the rotted boards crumble beneath her feet, hurling her down, down, down…
into the past
into the body of of a jobbing Victorian actress called Arabella Lorne.
Arabella is asked to marry the mysterious brooding landowner, Sir Augustus Stannion–a marriage strictly one of convenience. Despite this sham going against all Isabella believes in, she agrees, for she has no idea how else to survive in this bygone era, so familiar and yet so strange. Eventually, she comes to love the austere master of Elvingstone Manor…and there marriage is a sham no longer.
But Augustus has secrets, and so does his ruinous, Gothic mansion and the eerie churchyard beyond..
Something uncanny dwells in the crypt in the graveyard, and its presence and its malice, threatens both Stannion and Isabella, body and soul.
Should Isabella fight against this unearthly power and for the man she has grown to love…or should she save herself and seek a time portal through which she can return home?

Many years ago, as a little girl, I visited a haunting old house near Derby, Elvaston Castle. It had a rather eerie graveyard with a crypts set into a green mound like a burial mound. I never forget the atmosphere, and so this house and its cemetery have become the basis of this time slip novel.

Thrones of Desire: Erotic Tales of Swords, Mist and Fire by Mitzi Szereto
Thrones of Desire is a place where lust and legend abound, and adventure, passion and danger entwine. Think mystical lands and creatures, kings and queens, knights and renegades, heroes and villains, warlords, maidens and princesses. Think battles and danger, honor and dishonor, good and evil. Most of all, think hearts filled with passion and secret desire. This is a place where romantic chivalry is alive and well, but so too is romantic wickedness. This is a place where the good do not always win, and the bad are often more captivating and desirable than their altruistic counterparts. In these lush and timeless landscapes, the battle for flesh can be as important as the battle for power. Intrigue, sorcery, revenge, lawlessness, dark secrets and mysterious elixirs; entanglements with supernatural beings — everything is possible in these magical mythical landscapes. Inspired by Game of Thrones these imaginative steamy tales transport the reader to fantastical realms. Featuring a special foreword from legendary fantasy author Piers Anthony.
