The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and surrounding mountains are my inspiration. I'm published by the Wild Rose Press and have indie titles. Even though this was a romance novel, the adventure of the whole book was exciting and appealing. You can dig for him there. If you enjoy a romantic escape, this is just the thing.
I enjoyed it very much. Excellent story, brilliantly told! Sowing the seeds of today's dreams so tomorrow they are harvested as realities.

And Step Into The Past. April Book of the Month Poll Winner: Baby Charlie is one! With the help of his friend Fergus, a tech genius, and Fergus' mother, who is a seer, Neil discovers that this very sheltered Mora Campbell might actually be from another time, as she came in through a door that leads no where, and she warns them that the great Scots warrior The MacDonald is coming after him!
With Fergus' gadgets out of a Star Trek episode, and portents that he must go back and find his ancestor Niall Mackenzie, whom he resembles as if he is a twin, to save him from certain death, Neil still finds the time to fall for this fiery tempered Scottish lass! For me, this was a fun, escapist, romantic time travel adventure. Even though they never told Mora what time she ended up in, her POV lets you know that she knows she's not in Scotland anymore.
This was actually a quick read, and the story seemed to wrap up a little quickly as it came to the climax, but I was okay with that. I was in the right frame of mind for this type of story, and will definitely look for more in this series! Oct 10, Toni rated it really liked it. Her use of Scottish phrases, descriptions of the ancient clothing and architecture show a depth of research giving the story that authentic ring.

Neil comes across as a good man doing a thankless task, a hero whose good deed will go unknown to everyone except the woman he loves because if he succeeds History will be changed. Mora is feisty and beguiling, and Fergus is the most lovable character in the book, a gee I think Somewhere My Lass is the best thing Beth Trissel has written yet! Mora is feisty and beguiling, and Fergus is the most lovable character in the book, a geek, but a resourceful geek, who rises to the occasion with all the technological data and fictional resources he can muster.
Nevertheless most readers will be well-satisfied. A good book, a lovely story with well-conceived characters. Somewhere my Lass is an award-winning story and deserves all the accolades it has received. Jul 19, Susan rated it liked it Shelves: Imperfect but lovely and sweet. Our hero is a young man, a modern day man, alone in the world except for a housekeeper who had been with the family a long time, and stayed after the parents passed away.
One night he comes home, finds housekeeper murdered. OMG Maybe the Intruder is in the house. He creeps up the stairs. Finds our heroine at the top of the stairs, out cold. Police arrive, girl goes to hospital, hero goes with her. The hospital checks her out for concussion, lets her go. Enter geeky friend, one of his friends, and the geeky friend's New Age Practitioner mother. The girl has been warning everyone all along about him. The group of good guys make a jump through time It's a pretty fun read.
A romance yes, but not a typical romance plot really. The romance is essential to the story but it is not "the story". That's a nice difference. Probably the biggest problem I had with the book is it is 2 in the series, and it's the one I started with.

Aug 19, Diana DomesticGoddess rated it did not like it Shelves: One MC in this time-travel romance is a th-century Scott, so her speech is understandably strange. The others are supposed to be from modern-day Virginia; they have no excuse.
I had no patience for the dialogue or the story line; it all seemed rather silly and insipid to me. For one, it's never really explained to Mora that's she's in 21st century, or about our technology or that she doesn't need to be concerned about witchcraft.

Excerpt from Time Travel Romance Somewhere My Lass
There are a few so-not-hot kisses and as for sex, it only happens once and is G-rated. The book is also unrelentingly repetitive. You start a conversation you can't even finish it. You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything. When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again? Psycho Killer, Qu'est Que C'est. Oh, sorry - I got distracted there for a moment. There are a few humorous lost-in-translation bits with the juxtaposition of modern vs.
Also, the ending is pretty exciting. All in all though, I can't recommend it; I can hardly believe I finished it. I guess I'm just not cut out for these kind of badly written romance novels.

Lets Talk About It: I'm not usually one for romance books but this was a great book! From the beginning of the book you are hit with humor as Neil helps Mora who has to adjust to a world that is much unlike her own. One of my favorite parts in the scene in which Neil takes Mora to the hospital and she is scared to death of the place. I about wet my pants laughing from the 'invisible cat' otherwise known at as cat scan. Between the humor that takes place and the love that grows between Neil and Mora this is a book that will keep you entertained and up late because you can't put it down.
Well done Beth Trissel. Oct 11, Darcia Helle rated it really liked it Shelves: This is a fun read about soul mates and destiny, with some time travel and paranormal aspects. Beth Trissel handles the historical aspect beautifully. The Irish brogue and mannerisms of the characters had me feeling like I was back in Ireland. Often I find that 'paranormal romance' is more 'erotic romance', which is fine if that's what you're looking for. But this story is far more of an old-fashioned, sweet romance about two people who were determined to be together even if it meant crossi This is a fun read about soul mates and destiny, with some time travel and paranormal aspects.
But this story is far more of an old-fashioned, sweet romance about two people who were determined to be together even if it meant crossing centuries. The plot kept me engaged and I enjoyed Trissel's writing style. The only time I found myself disengaging from the story was at the beginning with the murder. I felt that the police would have paid a lot more attention to Mora, questioning her and looking into her past. Aside from that, I loved everything about this one. Jan 07, Nancy rated it really liked it Shelves: I really enjoyed reading this one.
Great pace with likeable characters. Beth Trissel makes time travel fun and weaves the historical with the contemporary very well, and with great humor. Beth keeps the reader entertained as Mora and Neil avoid the big bad 'MacDonald' villain. I loved how Neil's friend Fergus is full of gadgets to keep the action going as they whisk through their adventures and avoid dangers- all against the clock. I'll be reading the other books in the series whenever I can as I really enjoyed reading this one. I'll be reading the other books in the series whenever I can as I don't want to miss out on some fine reading.
Apr 19, Skye Taylor rated it it was ok. I love the Scots and anything set in or about Scotland, and I'm a big fan of time travel, but for some reason this book didn't make it to my all time favorites. Perhaps it's because I live in a world more or less devoid of true eccentrics, but the supporting characters seemed more fantasy than real to me and the number of things carried on their person stretched the imagination beyond the breaking point.

I love the way the author has taken all the usual "rules" of time travel and thrown them all away. We get old in modern day and very modern being used in thes.
Even the secondary character is a hero. I was stunned at the ending.

I enjoyed the book but I gave it a 3 because I don't understand how Neil got to , what happened to his memory. Did I miss this in book 1? I am going to have to get the first book in the Somewhere in Time series. Otherwise I could not put the book down and would recommend it.
Feb 16, Lady rated it really liked it. I love time travel romance and I enjoyed this book. In most time travel stories usually one or the other main character goes to a specific time. I liked in this one how both characters went to both times in this particular story. Oct 26, Angie Peoples rated it it was amazing. What an action packed drama filled book of highland time travel.
I loved this book and couldn't put it down for a second as each page held me captive for what was to come next. I look forward to the next book in the series.
