AJ Moore climbs to the top of the rocky cliff, and panting hard, rolls over to stare at the gulls circling in the sky. She thrills at the rush, so happy to be back to her old self. Almost. There are still fences to be mended with her family. And if she could only find her reclusive muse, the last piece of her life puzzle—getting her career as a reporter back on track—would fall into place. When a two-hundred-year-old ship materializes through the fog, AJ sets out to unravel its mystery. Her investigation is hampered by the ship’s single passenger—the enigmatic sea captain. Finn Murphy tires of his mission. He never imagined the journey in a foreign land would last so long, or that his only hope to return home relied on him finding an elusive stone necklace. With his goal within reach, and barely staying one step ahead of an adversary, he can’t fathom how everything could go so wrong. At the heart of it all—one woman stands in his way. One simple news story will change AJ’s life forever and throw her into a journey that reshapes everything she thought she knew about herself. An adventure that will teach her that life isn’t about goals and career. It’s about family, loyalty, and trust. Finding love was purely accidental. NOTE: A STONE IN TIME contains cliffhangers as AJ and Finn's primary journey continues in KEEPER OF STONES and concludes in TORC OF STONE. The first chapter of KEEPER OF STONES can be found at the end of A STONE IN TIME. I hope you enjoy the adventure.

    At thirty-one, she spends a summer in Greece; there, alone on a tranquil island, she begins writing stories about her grandmother’s experiences in 1940s Egypt, her mother’s youth in 1960s Greece, and finally, her own life in contemporary America—trying to make sense of her future by exploring the past. Spanning Thair’s life from thirty-one to thirty-six, The Greek Persuasion explores human sexuality, the complexity of mother-daughter relationships, and the choices women of different generations make when choosing—or settling—for “Mr. (or Ms.) Good Enough.” Will Thair ever find that missing part of her that Zeus chopped off with his magic sword? Or is the concept of The One just one big fairy tale that has left her searching for someone who doesn’t exist?
