It used to go everywhere with me when I was younger because, frankly, blue cotton canvas goes with everything! Anyway, I had a clear out and decided I was too sophisticated as a mature(ish) lady for such a girly bag, and I put it away, but sophisticated and me didn’t get along and I missed my bag (others didn’t match my style of jeans, trainers and baggy togs), so out it came again.
I haven’t been separated from it since!
Julie Compton’s
life should have come to an end in the car crash, but instead, she woke,
unharmed, back in 1972 and primed to relive her life all over again.
One problem. She’s in the body of a
stranger.
Journey back to
the 70s and 80s England where Julie’s forced to jump through the eras,
occupying and controlling the bodies of people she knew as a child. She must
work out which destiny path was the wrong one, wondering all the while if her
body, back in 2016, was dying in her car.
With each momentous change, her memories transform, and she realizes she’s not only changing her future but the futures
of those around her.
A paranormal, time-slip adventure set in the real town of Northampton in
England.
I
looked at the mirror again, then rose and forced my legs to move forward. I knew I’d look different, but the
jolt of shock hit me anyway. Instead of seeing my own face, I saw a young woman
with a thin, pockmarked face and awful buck teeth. Instead of my no-nonsense blonde bob, my hair was long and
brown. A wave of nausea turned my stomach as I stared at my reflection. I
should be seeing a forty-nine-year-old woman in her prime, not a
twenty-something scraggy-haired woman. I should be immaculately made up with
perfect teeth and skin, not… not this.
An unexpected thought popped into my head. Will I look more professional if I put my
hair up or should I leave it down? It wasn’t my thought. It belonged to
whoever’s body I was occupying.
One
thought was spinning around in my mind—and it was mine: I had died in the
crash, and this was some sort of afterlife.
