| Publisher Description: --Ask how you can win an hour in time-- Marae O'Conaire has much bigger problems than the fact her watch stopped at 3:57 p.m. When she brings her watch to a kindly repairman, she learns she has won a peculiar prize, a chance to re-live a single hour of her life. But Fate has strict rules about how one can go poking in the past, including the warning that she can't do anything that would create a time-paradox. Can Marae make peace with the mistake she regrets most in this world? This poignant tale about racism, regret and second chances is set in the historic mill city of Lowell, Massachusetts. "A poignant short read around a theme from Norse mythology. Time is a gift, and sometimes, a last chance..." --Dale Amidei, author "A very moving and dramatic story... if we had a chance to change our past, would we?" --Reader review "Getting a do-over on your deepest regret is a one in a million opportunity " --Reader review What if you could do it over again? |
Contributor Bio(s): Erishkigal, Anna: - Award-winning author Anna Erishkigal is an attorney who writes fantasy fiction as an alternative to coming home from court and cross-examining her kids. She writes under a pen-name so her colleagues don't question whether her legal pleadings are fantasy fiction as well. Much of law, it turns out, -is- fantasy fiction. Lawyers just prefer to call it 'zealously representing your client.' Seeing the dark underbelly of life makes for some interesting characters, the kind you either want to incarcerate, or run home and write about. In fiction, you can fudge facts without worrying too much about the truth. In legal pleadings, if your client lies to you, you look stupid in front of the judge. At least in fiction, if a character becomes troublesome, you can always kill them off... www.Anna-Erishkigal.com |
