BOOK EXCERPT AND GIVEAWAY OF HEDGELAND BY ANN NYLAND (INT)

Hedgeland, an urban fantasy of time travel. Dr April Neuland, a Professor of Ancient Languages turned non-fiction writer, has been plagued by dreams all her life, dreams of her past life in the Otherworld. Meanwhile, in a parallel dimension of April's past and Caridwen's future, Worthing, a Future History Professor, has allied with the Military to access Future Internet communications and use new technology to influence April to write an ebook novel revealing where she, in her past life as Caridwen, hid the Kiste, a device to travel through time and space. Hedgeland weaves all three time/space frames: Caridwen, Worthing, and April. Hedgeland is the first in the Hedgecraft Sequence, but is a fully self contained novel with no cliff hangers.

Book Excerpt-

Chapter 9. Caridwen.

He was hot, gorgeous in fact. That's the first thing I noticed about him when I walked in the tavern through the back door of the Cunning Woman's establishment. He was staring at me in shock. His ale was frozen half way to his mouth. I was staring back. I hadn't had a relationship for ages, and he was the hottest guy I had ever seen. I looked at his dark blonde messy hair, his deep blue eyes, and of course, his muscular body barely concealed under his clothes.

He gestured me over. I just stood there; who did he think he was.

"Lady Caridwen?" he said in the language of Caer Sidi.

I got myself to his table real quick then.

"How do you know who I am? Have you come to kill me?" I blurted in our own language.

He looked amused. "If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead already."

I ignored that. "You've come to rescue me?"

"No." Seeing my crestfallen face, he continued. "Let me explain. We thought you were alive, and obviously we would rescue you if we found you, of course. We were all issued with your image. I meant I've been sent here on another mission. How on earth did you get here? This is the future to our time; I've followed a Kiste trace to this time and place."

"That was me, a Kiste came through the Anaktoron on this land and it was already activated. Two people were trying to kill me and one blasted at me but I grabbed the Kiste just in time so you must have followed me. I didn't want to activate the Kiste and set it for home because I didn't know if it was possible to get back home and didn't want to be killed trying." I stumbled over my words in my hurry to get them out.

He flashed his Military I.D. at me while I was speaking so quickly; I looked briefly at it. "No, I didn't follow your trace. I want you to tell me everything that happened to you in detail."
