Loneliness of the Time Traveller

Description Loneliness of the Time Traveller by Erika Rummel


“It is a dreadful thing to be possessed, to be invaded by a spirit woman who commands your body and soul and looks out at the world through your eyes. It happened to me in 1778. Pray it will never happen to you.”

Adele’s diary tells the story of her domination by an incubus Lynne, a serving girl in a London ale house who died a violent death and commandeered Adele’s body for eight years. Can Adele be held responsible for Lynne’s crimes? Will the evil spirit return and renew her tyranny over Adele’s mind?

Lynne has moved on into the 21st century, but the transmigration has left her emotions flat. Lynne is eager to go back to her first life and experience once more the passion she felt for her lover, Jack. To do so, she needs a channel to the past: the manuscript of Adele’s diary, if only she can find it.

A time-slip novel set in contemporary Los Angeles and 18th century London, The Loneliness of the Time Traveller is a story of love, crime, and adventure combined with fantasy, a little bit of Jane Austen-style irony, and a healthy serving of social criticism.

My Thoughts For Loneliness of the Time Traveller by Erika Rummel


Lynne was a serving girl in an ale house, London in 1778.  She was in love with Jack, a criminal.  Of course, being in love with a criminal can be deadly. Lynne was murdered.  However, that was not the end of her story.  It was, in fact, just the beginning. 

When Lynne died, she found out that she was part of a race of human beings called transmigrants.  Transmigrants were able take possession of another persons body when they were weakened or dying. That is where Adele comes into the story.

Adele was a woman who was over come with fever and thought to be dying.  However, she woke up after her fever only to find that there is someone else now sharing her body and tried to take control. 

Adele fights Lynne at every turn.  Eventually Lynne tires of Adele’s resistance and jumps into her next victim. She goes from one victim to the next and eventually is living in the 21st century.  However, she misses Jack and thinks that she might be able to make it back to him.  You see, Adele lived after Lynne left her body and she wrote a book about the experience.  Of course, people did not believe her however, her original manuscript, in the 21st century was treasured. There are copies of the book but Lynne feels that if she can get her hands on Adele’s original writing, she can somehow transport herself back in time, to Jack.

This is a fresh take on time travel for me and I loved it.  This is Erika Rummel’s first foray into science fiction but she is an expert in history and historical fiction.  I became a fan with her historical fiction! She captures time and place so well that I feel like I am there.  This is the case with ‘The Loneliness of the Time Traveller’!  From the first page, she grabbed me by the hand and took me to 1778 London and then on to the other lives that Lynne inhabited. Her poetic prose and character development is mesmerising!

I highly recommend ‘The Loneliness of the Time Traveller.’ However, I do advise you to set aside a weekend because it is so hard to put down! If you are a nail biter, you may want to put some thing bitter on your nails or you may chew them down to the quick!

I received the eBook for my honest opinion.

Praise For Erika Rummel


“This is a fast-paced page turner.  A suspenseful, thrilling roller coaster ride with lots of twisty, loopy sections.  Head Games is an apt title for this enthralling read. “- Joy Renee, Joy Story

“Identity’s a big theme in this work, so if you’ve ever felt you were someone other than yourself, if you thought you might like to try living in someone else’s skin, if you’ve wondered whether your friends and loved ones were not exactly who they claimed to be, then this psychological labyrinth might just be your winding road to a good read”.- Carole Giangrande, Words to Go

“This was a book that grabbed me from the start. It’s a period in history that offered much to the world but also had some of man’s darkest moments.  Due to that it does provide rich material for a novelist and Ms. Rummel does an excellent job of taking her reader on a dangerous journey through the twists and turns of what many faced during the time. The characters are well developed and defined. The scenes are well described and I found myself feeling like I was actually walking the streets with the characters of the book.”-Patty, Books Cooks Looks

“To live during such tumultuous times would be horrible. You would have to be careful of every word that came out of your mouth. That might be easy when you are alert, but what about when you are so tired that you can’t even think? This book made me thankful that I was born in America in the 20th century. Any fan of riveting historical fiction will get lost in this book from page one.”-Lisa, Lisa’s Writopia

The Awakening

Description Awakening by Dana Claire


The government called her a weapon. Her mother called her a gift. She called it a forced fate. Beatrice Walker is no stranger to surprises and after the year she’s had, finding out she is responsible for billions of lives is a drop in the bucket. Until she learns there may be more to the prophetic plan to prevent the extinction of two planets—both Earth and Ferro, and that she isn’t the only Blood-Light they will need to fight the imminent threat of an asteroid hurtling toward the planets.

He grew up a loyal heir. He trained to be a soldier. He found purpose with the Rebellion. Cash Kingston didn’t think falling for a Blood-Light—part human, part Ferroean—was possible. But when he met Beatrice Walker, all of that changed. What didn’t waver was his quest to save his beloved planet Ferro and his new home, Earth. Not only from the oncoming asteroid but from leaders of both planets with more sinister agendas.

Together, Beatrice and Cash, plus their team, must uncover who they can trust, how they can stop their enemies, and what superpower matters most, or they will lose everything they are fighting for.

Review Awakening by Dana Claire


Guest Review by Mark S.

The second book in the Blood-Lite series did not disappoint!

Beatrice Walker and Cash Kingston are star crossed lovers in the most literal sense of the phrase. Cash is an alien from the planet Ferro and, in the first book in this series, Beatrice discovers that her biological father was actually from Ferro as well.

Beatrice is harboring the life source of Cash’s one time girlfriend, Sera who is being kept in a near-death state within the main hub of the Ferroean resistance on Earth, a place called The Hive. Bea and Cash must infiltrate The Hive in order to save Sera and save both Earth and Ferro, but first they must find Cash’s brother, Ashton.

Although the brothers are far from friendly, allies are needed and Ashton happens to be one of the few that they have left on Earth. However, as they are driving across the country to California, Ashton informs Beatrice that he believes that their destinies are entwined and that they may have more to do with each other than she had previously realized.

Bea and Cash’s relationship takes some knocks in this installment, but they also mature in ways that made for a really exciting read. I love to watch their relationship develop.

This is a series that is great for science fiction lovers and lovers of YA alike. Dana Claire’s writing is fantastic. Her blending of Earth and Ferroean customs, the different voices of the characters and the way that Beatrice begins to come to terms with her new abilities were my favorite parts of the book.

I can’t wait for the next book in this series and to find out where the adventure brings these characters next. ‘The Awakening’ is a thrill ride from start to finish and a sequel that cannot be missed.

About Dana ClaireDana Claire


When author Dana Claire had several poems published as an elementary school student, she was hooked and writing became her passion. A shared dream of hers and her mother’s, she promised her dying mother that she would become a published author and that dream has been realized with The Connection.

Dana believes that a good story is made through strong character development; when readers become attached to the characters’ emotional state and are invested in their objectives. She believes that the beauty of reading is that one can live a hundred lives within the stories of books. Her own stories come to her in her dreams, and she wakes up with book ideas.

Dana’s family is very supportive of her writing and the creativity and sentiment driving it. Enjoying bicoastal living between Los Angeles and New York, Dana says she “lives the best romance in the world being married to the most amazing man she could ever ask for.” The Connection was her debut YA novel, the first volume in a planned trilogy. The Awakening is the second volume.  She is also the author of The Reclaimed Kingdom, a YA fantasy romance novel.
