At this point, I felt that she would serve as a calming presence at the edge of our arc. She may have a larger role in "A Thornhill Christmas" when that one gets written.

I think it would help in this instance that the time travel is to the future rather than to the past as the character would experience things without changing past timelines.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-46849880656114953712018-03-03T18:30:28.582+00:002018-03-03T18:30:28.582+00:00Hi Carole, so glad you enjoyed the post.Hi Carole, so glad you enjoyed the post.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-15024541776069268482018-03-03T18:29:59.276+00:002018-03-03T18:29:59.276+00:00I think it's such a fun idea, to allow a numbe...I think it's such a fun idea, to allow a number of fictional worlds to intertwine.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-54214009301654741262018-03-03T18:29:15.159+00:002018-03-03T18:29:15.159+00:00Thinking about it Anji, P&P might have been th...Thinking about it Anji, P&P might have been the first book I read with an entail in it too!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-77039852276573238142018-03-03T18:28:16.685+00:002018-03-03T18:28:16.685+00:00I hope you enjoy the book when you read it KateBI hope you enjoy the book when you read it KateBCerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-15245380606140988652018-03-03T18:27:49.092+00:002018-03-03T18:27:49.092+00:00Hi Darcybennet, it's good to have a reason for...Hi Darcybennet, it's good to have a reason for the entail put forward isn't it Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-57500192497246457872018-03-03T18:26:59.628+00:002018-03-03T18:26:59.628+00:00She doesn't think, does she.She doesn't think, does she.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-51679241129445544632018-03-03T15:14:18.048+00:002018-03-03T15:14:18.048+00:00Thank you for sharing this informative guest post ...Thank you for sharing this informative guest post and interesting excerpt.

This is something that I appreciate very much because through characters and settings a book can teach us a lot. <br />I found the notes in The keeper too very interesting and testimony of such solipsism.SummerJadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225891494535457165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-57876332132353705792018-02-24T03:23:51.897+00:002018-02-24T03:23:51.897+00:00Hi, Thank you for your kind note.

Austen created a universe. O'Brien, Graham, Doyle and others created their own, too.

When I read a well written book with a good story, I become so immersed in the story that I feel a part of the surroundings or world in which it exists. I love that and it does seem real. It feels strange when I look up and I am not actually in that world but in my own. :) <br /><br />One of the many things I love about your stories, is the merging of real people and characters from other literary worlds into your Bennet Wardrobe world. It fascinates me tremendously. Thank you for this wonderful world that you have brought to life for us to experience and enjoy. I'm looking forward to the next chapter in their history.Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.com
