BOOK BLURB:
Welcome to another place in time...where
one can be swept away into lands and eras long forgotten.
This collection of short stories was birthed because a sworn "I don't like historicals" reader fell in love with what have become some of her favorite books by most of her favorite writers. Surprisingly, they were all historicals. Determined to make others feel the love, these authors were asked to contribute small tastes of how amazing historical storytelling can be.
Included in this anthology:
"Office Romance" by Tamara Allen
"Introducing Mr. Winterbourne" by Joanna Chambers
"The Ruin of Gabriel Ashleigh" by KJ Charles
"Unfair in Love and War" by Kaje Harper
"Carousel" by Jordan L. Hawk
"Deliverance" by Aleksandr Voinov
Along with a foreword written by Alex Beecroft, enjoy these original short stories that make up "Another Place in Time".
All proceeds from the purchase of this anthology will be donated to AllOut.org in celebration of LGBT History Month, October 2014.
Included in this anthology:
"Office Romance" by Tamara Allen
"Office Romance" by Tamara Allen
The post-war economy
is at a standstill, much like Foster Wetherly’s life until he’s forced to do
battle with irritatingly confident—and competent—fellow ex-doughboy Casey
Gladwin for a position in their shrinking department at Manhattan Security
Mutual.
"Introducing Mr. Winterbourne" by Joanna Chambers
Lysander Winterbourne appears to lead a charmed life. Handsome,
amiable, and a renowned sportsman, he is the darling of London society. As far
as Adam Freeman is concerned though, Lysander is just another spoiled
aristocrat.
A wealthy mill owner, Adam has no time for the frivolous world
of the ton, but when his younger brother
becomes engaged to Althea Winterbourne, he reluctantly agrees to be introduced
to society–with the Winterbourne clan’s golden boy as his guide.
Resigning himself to a few days of boredom, Adam is surprised to
learn that there is much more to Lysander than his perfect surface. But will
Adam have the courage to introduce Lysander Winterbourne to his own secret
self?
"The Ruin of Gabriel Ashleigh" by KJ Charles
Lord Gabriel Ashleigh is a ruined
man. Last night he lost everything at the card tables to his brother’s worst enemy,
notorious gambler Francis Webster. Tonight, he’s going back for one more game.
Ash thinks he has nothing left to lose. But Francis sets the stakes, and
they’re higher than Ash could have imagined…
Two Regency bucks. One game of cards.
Everything to play for.
"Unfair in Love and War" by Kaje Harper
Many men lost brothers
overseas in the summer of 1944. Warren Burch was one of them. For months he
still clung to his big city life in Philadelphia, but finally he's made the
difficult choice to return to his home town. Warren's polio-stricken leg won't let
him serve, so the least he can do is be there for his mother, when brother
Charlie never again will. Arriving home means a whole new life, constrained by
the rhythms and prejudices of a small town. Fortunately, it's made more
interesting by the mysterious and attractive young man next door.
"Carousel" by Jordan L. Hawk
When a
child goes missing, is it a simple case of a young runaway, or are more
sinister forces at work?
“Carousel”
is part of the Whyborne & Griffin series and takes place between the events
of Stormhaven and Necropolis. It can be read as a standalone.
"Deliverance" by Aleksandr Voinov
This is
a re-vamped, re-edited, improved version of "Deliverance". It's about
William Raven, a templar, who thought he'd escaped his past. (Same character as
in The Lion of Kent.)

Not sure if it's open to UK residents but I'll give it a shot. I'm a big Whyborne & Griffin fan myself despite a certain aversity towards M/M historical (I like them fine in M/F but it's hard to believe a HEA for M/M in historicals).
ReplyDeleteI'm new to historical m/m but would love to read this book.
