Story Notes

This story is my baby. I spent one (1) year brainstorming, writing, crying, and praying over it.

The book you are reading is a clean, readable first draft. What I mean by that is I spent a good amount of time cleaning up any possible misspellings, missing punctuation, [random author notes], and anything else that might inhibit the reading experience.

Consider yourself my beta readers.

The beta-reading stage, and how I choose to handle it, is where I upload my draft/manuscript to my desired platform (in this case, the one you are reading from) and give the book a set amount of time on that platform to collect reader feedback. Based on the feedback I receive from my betas, I can then move forward with revisions and editing.

So, essentially, you are getting early access to A Dance with Time while it is still a first draft—and I get the opportunity to see how the story lives with its readers before I begin the next stage of its development.

Summary

On the morning of her long-awaited debut, dancer Angelique awakens to find the Grand Theatre in ruins—and the world outside no longer her own. The glittering city she knew has vanished, replaced by an unfamiliar kingdom of knights and forests, ruled by a benevolent king whose name she has only ever read in history. Rescued by Matteo, a loyal knight burdened by duty and loss, Angelique is drawn into a time both distant and achingly human. As she searches for answers—and a way home—she begins to see that her arrival may not have been by accident. In a world still healing from war, faith flickers like light through shattered glass. And as two souls from different centuries find each other amid ruin and renewal, Angelique must decide whether to return to the life she left behind… or trust that love can transcend even time itself. A heartfelt time-slip fantasy for readers who love the love-transcending wonder of Outlander and the tender whimsy of Howl’s Moving Castle—A Dance with Time is a story of grace, faith, and the quiet power of being found when the world has forgotten you.

Chapter One | Angelique

Angelique held her breath as her partner’s hands hovered near her waist, never quite touching. Her skin prickled each time his palm brushed her back, guiding her through...
