is on sale for 0.99 in US and UK and also FREE on Kindle Unlimited until 7th May. Here’s what a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ reviewer had to say about it:

What a beautifully written book. I instantly fell in love with the characters and cared about what happened to them. I loved the history, the little gems of information which sent me off to research further and the concept of the story. I found it believable even though it’s a work of imagination and fiction. Hide in Time is a must read for all those looking for a well written book in which to lose oneself. Highly recommended.

Does Your Life Have a Theme?

Have you ever looked back on your life and seen a theme? I doubt that most of us have. But if you have, I’d love to hear about it.

Here’s where to tell us:

/author_blog...

If you are a reader, I’d love to know what theme you feel authors never tackle. Or, tell us your favourite theme in books in general or in a single book.

If you are an author, please tell us how you arrived at the theme of one of the books you have written (no links please but do put the title). Here's where to tell us:

/author_blog...

There’s also a stress reliever tip for the tough times ahead.

If you go to my Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ blog: www.goodreads.com/author_blog_posts/2... you’ll see a little more information but I thought some of you might like to know that I haven’t been twiddling my thumbs for the last couple of years, I’m actually hoping to publish soonâ€� hope is a wonderful thing, don’t you agree?

Here’s some info on what should be published this September:

Title: Mistake in Time

Genre: Time Travel Romance

Available for sale: On Amazon Kindle and Paperback

Blurb: To keep this post shorter, the blurb is on my blog only at the moment.

Some chapter titles

Chapter One - A white sports car
Chapter Two - The old, musty case
Chapter Three - They will have no tomorrows

My first time travel romance, Hide in Time is a stand alone book and so is Mistake in Time but they share certain settings etc. This, apparently, means they are an 'anthology series'.

I hope you’ll enjoy a romp through time.

Time Travel Romance, new release from Anna Faversham which is also in the adventure/mystery and a few other genres!




Have you ever been a little hasty and made a mistake? Liberty Taffet has. She thinks it doesn’t matter and she can put it right but some things just don’t work out.

Follow Liberty (and the two men who follow her) into her life-changing adventure.

Mistake in Time

Prices are reduced until 4th October.

Also available on Kindle Unlimited � Free!

Readers' Favorite 5 star review
"There is a wonderful romanticism about time travel. The idea of moving to a simpler period of history that we admire in order to escape the complex and messy aspects of our modern lives is a deeply appealing one. That romanticism is captured wonderfully by author Anna Faversham in her new novel which sees protagonist Liberty get so lost in the idea of escaping her life into the past that a mishap sees her sent to the wrong past entirely. The author’s prose does a marvelous job of bringing to life the feel and spirit of the 1960s, with descriptive writing that made me feel like I was walking down the streets of London. This gifted prose extends to the protagonist herself with quirks and mannerisms that made her feel fully realized and grounded in reality. Overall, Mistake In Time is a fun and exciting adventure through the ages with an engaging protagonist adventuring through a vividly realized vision of the swinging 60s."

Have you ever made a mistake? Liberty made one that couldn’t be put right. In her haste to distance herself from her two-timing love-of-her-life, she sets off to go to Regency England. Simple. She knew exactly what to do to get there. What could go wrong?

“…rooted for her, as she tried to courageously navigate through her problems…�

If you fancy going on a journey that goes wrong (just 150 years out) please take a look at Mistake in Time

I opened my emails at the beginning of October and got a shock. One of my oldest books had won a prize and I began to look at the dear old thing with new eyes � the eyes of the Readers� Favorite reviewer, who is now one of my favourite people!

“One Dark Night by Anna Faversham is a very good book offering romance, danger, adventure, mystery, excitement and so much more and I found it was very hard to put down. I really was rooting for Lucy to end up with a good life for all the grief she had endured and was hoping she would pick the man I liked best. I also hoped that all the bad people would get what they deserved. Anna Faversham did a perfect job of combining all the elements into one winning story and I highly recommend One Dark Night be added to your reading list.�

I hope you will like set in the early nineteenth century, as much as the reviewer did.

If you take a look at my blog /author_blog... if you wish you can also tell us how a particular choice changed your life.

Blog with bargains? Yay! A blog with two bargains - more yays!

Time travel romance. If you like a romance with a little bit of mystery, a touch of humour and something of the thriller, then please grab a copy and visit another time, another place. From 31st March


Time Travel Romance: Landing in Swinging London wasn't in the plan - but it sure is fun. Pursued by both a goodie and a baddie, Liberty runs into a few problems, to say the least. Will she ever get to her coveted life in Regency England or must she settle for something completely different? From 27th March.

Both are 0.99 for 7 days and, of course, if you are a Kindle Unlimited member, they are free! Something to read during the Easter break perhaps?

What else has this blog got? There’s a very short Easter story for readers and you can tell us what your favourite genre is in the comments section. Authors really like to know who likes what!

And there’s a question for authors too.

Then there’s a completely daft ‘Random Act of Kindness� and a couple of good ones to help this troubled world.

So here’s the link again: /author_blog...

This link to the blog here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ /author_blog... doesn’t take you far. But buying the books will take you into another world, another time. Maybe you want to get into the heads of the smugglers? Or those who want to hang the smugglers? Or perhaps you’d like to follow the girl who has to make a decision about these two men?

And this is what reviewers say about just one of the books: “A great historical fiction with all the elements of a classic�, � Dark romantic mystery on a knife edge throughout�, “Romance, danger, adventure, mystery, excitement and so much more�, “A gripping tale�, “A cracking good book�, “Highly Recommended�.




Don’t leave it too long � they are reduced from 26th to 31st May
Of course, they are FREE on Kindle Unlimited all year round!

And if you follow the link - here it is again /author_blog...

- you'll find some thoughts to set you thinking too because sometimes it's good to look in the rear view mirror when we're driving, isn't it? And just occasionally in life it's good to look back and see who had an influence on you and who changed your life.

Light up someone’s life � or make them think hard. If you have a favourite quotation, would you like to share it on my blog?

This month’s bargain book is

It's a time travel romance and Liberty finds herself pursued by two men and escapes into an unexpected time. Her intention was to land in Regency England but, as the title suggests, she makes a mistake which delightfully delays her journey.

Interview with a talented author

I don’t have time to read as many books as I would like but I have read several of Gail Meath’s and here is what I said about one of them: “Oh what joy; an immensely satisfying read with the pace increasing until it becomes impossible to put down. Meticulous plotting, what a story!�

Merry Christmas

/author_blog...

Something a little different this month as this is the month when many of us will be scratching our heads (or whatever you do when you absolutely have to do some thinking). What to buy for Christmas presents? Easy: a book. It’s something that lasts, can be treasured, can be shared and most of all can bring joy � and that is precisely what Christmas tends to do.

I’ve done your searching for you. Ahem. Three of my paperback books have been reduced in price to the very lowest that Amazon allows for authors in their Kindle Direct Publishing. At their very lowest, the author receives nothing. So that’s me! I’d like them to have been even cheaper but Amazon have to make their money�

It’s a Wonderful World

/author_blog...

I’ve recently returned from a trip Down Under and I spent some time at a favourite beauty spot, a café in Scorching Bay, Wellington, New Zealand. Munching brunch, I remembered a scene from one of my books set just around the headland in Breaker Bay which features in

“Suddenly he saw it: the most magnificent roller advancing steadily towards the shore. A shout went up and all paddled furiously towards the beguiling breaker. He caught the wave, stood and steadied himself. The magic carpet took off; he was flying once again. For a few precious moments the exhilaration bore him up to surfers� heaven � no drug could compare.�

And then something shocking happened.

And it’s reduced to 0.99 in the US and UK from 25th February to 1st March 2024.

Also FREE on Kindle Unlimited.

In the US on 4th July you are celebrating: here in the UK we have a General Election. On 5th July, the UK will be reeling from the results � whatever they are.

Many people are worried about the future. I found on my travels earlier this year that our friends in New Zealand and Australia have similar worries to us. Friends in the US and Canada say the same. Thousands of miles away, yet we face similar worries and threats.

Many writers and health practitioners over the years have given us tips on how to cope with worries. As a reader and writer, I would say: read a good book. And it’s true, isn’t it? If you get lost in a book, you’re in another world.

One person who found he was up to his ears in trouble is Chester. Chester manages to get through some horrendous situations but eventually he helps others on the way. As an investigative journalist, he’s come up against a crime gang. And when he gets to New Zealand, he finds life is not quite what he imagined and he narrowly misses� well, I’d better not give out any spoilers.



It's on a Kindle Countdown Deal from Thursday 27th June, through until 3rd July 2024. For 0.99 if you live in the UK or US, or not much more if you’re unable to get the deal. And, of course it is FREE on Kindle Unlimited.

Now the sneaky peek at the forthcoming release of another Time Travel. Here's the opening sentence:

“From the outside Eleanor saw no discernible reason why Flint Cottage should be dirt cheap to rent.�

If you were offered somewhere that looked like a dream cottage in an English country village and it was dirt cheap, would you take it without viewing it? Perhaps you would if there was usually very little available to rent at a price you could afford? Perhaps you would if you had walked out on a no-good two-timing whatsit and had nowhere else to go? Might it seem like a dream come true?

Beware the Midnight Train � October release of spooky mystery

/author_blog...

If you follow the link it’s a short cut to more information about a shivers-down-the-spine mystery. Some of the characters never get to shiver, some are cool even in the face of� of what? Just be careful to check you’re getting on the right train.

In the blog you’ll start to get the ‘feel� of the book, so please take a look and let me know what you think of the title.

I didn’t intend to launch this spooky book close to Halloween � it was meant to be finished in July or August. ‘Things� got in the way. Ghosts will be ghosts and it seems I was overuled, so late October it is then.

If you’ve been following my other blog posts in the past couple of months, you’ll know something about this time travel book (with a slow burning romance bumbling along). But did I mention that the ghosts want Ellie to do something for them? The dishy vicar cautions Ellie. The loveable, zany, almost famous neighbour cautions her too. Does she take any notice? Okay, you can guess the answer � but would you? And when you find out the worrying consequences of time travel, would you still be determined to seek justice?

Beware the Midnight Train will be reduced until 14th November so please take a look soon. Here's the link:



Both ebook and paperback are ready and waiting :-)
