Book One of a Trilogy – A Stitch in Time | Austin Macauley Publishers

A Stitch in Time

Set in the heart of North Yorkshire and incorporating local myths, legends, and historical facts, this is the fantasy story of John Twigg, a young man with everything to live for. But, despite a loving family and an adoring girlfriend, he makes the fatal error of falling under the spell of a beautiful upper-class girl. Unable to sustain his own anguish and unhappiness at his betrayal, he curses himself and is thrown back in time from 1999 to the year 1544 by a force that he cannot possibly comprehend.

This first book in a trilogy is the story of his haunted childhood and sets the scene for his later epic struggle to return from the witch-infested late Tudor era where he is torn between two lives and loves... in different times in history. Intermixed with the evils of lust, hate and jealousy, John Twigg’s fight to return home will touch your heart and soul.

Be very careful what you wish for in life... be very careful indeed!
