TimeLess Treasure Cover Reveal!

 Hi everyone! I thought I'd give you a break from the doom and gloom and reveal the gorgeous cover of Timeless Treasure, my next release!  My newsletter subscribers have already seen it, but I wanted to give everyone a chance. I love my designer, Ravven from England! She's the best!  Anyway, I'm still hoping for a Christmas release, but it all depends on what is going on in the world in the next few months. If you follow me on my blog, you know to what I'm referring.  

 

I truly am loving the story and I know you will too! It's what is called a Time Slip Novel, which is not a Time Travel novel where the hero or heroine travels through time, but rather a story that switches back and forth from the present to the past. However, the story that occurs in the past connects with the story in the present in an important way and has an effect on the hero and heroine who live in the present. 

 

Timeless Treasure slips from present day Charleston, SC to the Caribbean 1718

 

Here's the cover! 

 

 Lexie Cain is all alone in the world. All her mother left her after her death is a chest full of faded pictures, old letters, and an odd ancient coin. Tossed from her home by her stepfather, she sets off to Charleston, South Carolina to search for buried treasure left by her pirate ancestor, Stede Bonnet. The wealth is the only thing that will save her from her family curse and a hopeless future. If only the letters he wrote to his lover, along with the coin, held a hint of its whereabouts, but the ancient words are hard to decipher and Lexie reluctantly goes in search of a history professor who is an expert on Charleston pirates.

 

 

 

 

 

Professor Barret Johnson is annoyed when his busy day is interrupted by a girl wearing faded jeans, a too-tight t-shirt, and tattoos. Obviously, she is not one of the students at the college, and he has little time to discuss Stede Bonnet with a pirate groupie. Yet, when the attractive girl insists she is related to Bonnet and produces a letter from the pirate to his lover, Barret is intrigued and has the letter authenticated. He can hardly believe it is real!  

 

 

Barret represents everything Lexie hates. Born to wealth and privilege, Barret’s family are pillars of the community, successful, educated, Christians who never suffered a day in their lives. Yet she has no choice but to allow hm to help her decipher the letters. As the couple reads each letter, we are transported into the past where we follow the adventures of Stede Bonnet from his start in Barbados, through each success and failure, and his eventual connection with Blackbeard himself.

Lexie discovers a kindred spirit in her ancestor, Bonnet, and lessons learned from the past soon drift into the present as both she and Barret deal with their own failings and learn to trust a God who has never let them down.

Someone is after the letters, and soon Barret and Lexie find themselves in grave danger. They must figure out the puzzle Bonnet left them and retrieve the treasure before it’s too late and whoever is after them gets desperate enough to end their lives.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

I'll keep you posted on the progress. As soon as I finish the first draft, I take a few weeks to go over it all again, fix problems, add things I missed, Etc. Then I hand it over to my editor who gives it a spit polish. After that, I will send out a free copy early to my Review Team and Early Reading Team about 2 weeks before release. That's the plan anyway, but the Lord is in charge!  

 

Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe in your Father's Arms!
