Summary: QUEEN ELIZABETH OR KING RICHARD?
Review: With her third time travel novel, Terri Brisbin once again captures the hearts of her fans. Ms. Brisbin is fast becoming a force with which to reckon in the time travel genre.

Thirty year old Sharon Reynolds, head curator for the historical costume and fabric collection of the Chicago Museum, is in an old manor house in London, England, examining a collection of clothing purported to be from the Elizabethan period. While doing so, she discovers a piece of parchment dated 1560 A.D. concealed in one of the gowns, the written contents of which, had it been discovered back then, would have had the power to change history as we know it. In her excitement to share this find with her colleagues, Sharon stumbles into a small, hidden room and finds herself transported to sixteenth century Elizabethan England.

There, she is providentially mistaken for one of Queen Elizabeth's seamstresses. She meets up with the Queen's stable master, the handsome and charming Richard Granville, illegitimate son of Henry VIII and half brother to Queen Elizabeth I. Attracted to him, she finds herself falling in love with him before she realizes that the parchment she holds has the power to change his fate, as well as that of Elizabeth and England, forever.

This is a wonderfully inventive time travel tale, replete with political intrigues, plot twists, and characters who charm the reader. The author masterfully weaves a tapestry of events that will keep the reader turning the pages of this book.
