In case you're wondering, I'm a baby boomer.  That's as far as I'm going! :)  My day job is as a flight attendant for a major airline.  I've done it for hundreds of years and I work the first class cabin as much as possible.  I have an identical twin, but we're mirror image.  I'm left handed and she's right handed.  And yes, we did switch on teachers and boyfriends.  Why?  Because it's in the twin genes.

I grew up in Los Angeles, California.  Really, I'm a true native.  I've lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota, burr, Chicago, Illinois and Bend, Oregon.  Bend is the most beautiful place I've ever lived.  I do like golf, am terrible at it, and haven't played in years.

No Future Christmas from Cerridwen Press
 
Twenty-first century police officer, Mike Forrester can't believe his eyes.  A woman is standing in a glowing tangerine light in the early morning hours after his shift.  He has to see if the vision is real.  His hand closes around her wrist and he's stunned by the hot, intense desire that rushes through him.  The world spins and the last thing Mike remembers is the gentle touch of the woman's hands on his face as she strokes his mouth. 

Twenty-second century scientist Shauna Wentworth doesn't intend to bring Mike Forrester home to her time.  But before she can send him back they find themselves in a race against time to uncover a political secret that will rock the world.

No Silent Christmas from Cerridwen Press
 
When firefighter Scott Forrester picks up his brother's BlackBerry to invite his father for Christmas dinner  he hears a high-pitched whine and a tangerine light surrounds him.  In an instant he disappears from the room.  Scott finds himself standing on a dirt street and the women are all dressed in the same, shapeless style from the 1920s. 

Amid the Barbie-doll dressed women one stands out.  Her long, blonde hair and startling blue eyes cause a hot, wild desire to race through Scott.  He has never reacted to a woman like that before.  Soon Scott finds he's in 1925 Hollywood working as a silent screen actor with a drunken star in the era of prohibition and gangsters.
