A Still Point in Time

(P.E.A.R.L. Award Finalist)

A brooch, a lighthouse, a seashore:

Forty-three year old, single, childless English professor Laura Bouvoire is determined to have a baby by in-vitro fertilization. But her plans go awry when she falls in love with her thirty-one year-old college student, a man who is morally and ethically opposed to “test-tube babies.” Yet the two are drawn together by forces neither understands, forces they later learn stem from a past life. Obsessed by dreams of lovers in another century, Laura delves into that past life. There, tormented voices from another age reveal century-old karmic debts...

Marsha has been involved in some form with reading and writing most all her life. Having taught a variety of college English courses, spanning the range of composition to British literature and world literature, she is a published poet and essayist. But she did not try her hand at writing a novel until the mid 1990's when the idea for her reincarnation romance, A Still Point in Time, came to her in a dream. From this dream emerged a haunting and deep-seated conviction that the characters she created in A Still Point in Time had indeed known one another in the past.

Soon after she completed her first novel, the idea of re-visiting the ancient Greek Phaedra myth struck Marsha one day as she was teaching, in one of her college world lit courses, Racine's 17th century play entitled Phaedra. Thus sprang the beginnings of her second novel, A Family Matter, which brings the rudiments of an ancient myth into a 1990's eastern Kentucky setting.

Senior Editor at Whiskey Creek Press, Marsha is a member of Authors Unlimited, All Star Scribes, LeditSlip, and World Romance Writers. The proud mother of three grown sons, she lives in Kentucky USA with her lifetime soul-mate husband and three dogs. In her spare time, she enjoys tennis, golf, and piano.

    Sounds like something I might enjoy...however I still have four books sitting here waiting for me to read before the summer is out ( so I guess I better get to it now , or start anyway) ) It seems that lazey snowy winter weekends are much more condusive to me getting lost in a book wearing my flannels and bunny slippers and sipping on hot cocoa with marshmallow......
