The Time After Time Series by Carol Ann Kauffman
The series, TIME AFTER TIME, follows a pair of quintessential lovers, Richard and Nicole, through their many lives together, in different places, in different times, with different names and faces and sometimes even on other planets.
This follows the alternative theory that the relationships we forge in this lifetime, both the good and the bad, are continued into the future, and are rooted deeply in our past.
Whatever we do, whomever we love, and the good and evil deeds we do today follow us into the future. Unsettled issues will present themselves again and again, until they are ultimately resolved.
Those people who have had a profound effect on us in this lifetime will find us again in the future. And although everything changes, love remains.
Books in the TIME AFTER TIME series are: BLUE LAKE, BELTERRA,The BASLICATO, BENTLEY SQUARE, WAITING FOR RICHARD, LORD OF BLAKELEY, and MACKALVEY HOUSE.
They do not need to be read in order.A new adventure, WAIT FOR ME, will be out soon. I lost my editor. Through no fault of her own, she is unable to finish editing my manuscript or continue working in her chosen field. I am looking for a new editor. It is a difficult task.
WAIT FOR ME is done. It has a beautiful cover. I hope you will get to see it soon.

Interview with Historical Fiction Writer Bev Scott
Beverly Scott
San Francisco, CA
USA
Good morning, Beverly, and welcome to Vision and Verse, the place for Art and Authors. Thank you for taking the time to be with us this morning. What have you written?
First novel, “Sarah’s Secret: A Western
Tale of Betrayal and Forgiveness.” After
winding down my organization consulting career, I began a genealogical journey
to learn more about my paternal grandparents, and confirm a whispered family
secret. I concluded the story needed to
be fiction using the known facts as a framework and creating the missing
pieces. My prior work focused on
non-fiction and related to my professional career.
What is your favorite
genre to write? Historical Fiction
Favorite food.
I don’t
have one favorite food. I like a meal
with fresh vegetables and fruit with fish or seafood as the entre
Tea or coffee?
Tea
please, black.
My Grandma
Pizza or ice cream?
Wine or beer?
Wine,
red.
Where would you like to
visit?
Italy
Go, Bev. Go now. Italy is fantastic. And you really need to go more than once to truly appreciate it's splendor Favorite musical
artist.
I like classical music.
Do you listen to
music when you write?
Sometimes
What?
Classical music
Oh, we've got a comedian here. What makes you laugh?
Good times with friends
Favorite work of art or
sculpture.
Monet paintings
High school but that was for required papers. Didn’t start writing what I wanted to write
until my 40’s. I didn’t start writing my
first novel until I was 70.
Do you plan out your
book with outlines and notecards? Or just write?
I begin with an outline but it
gets revised multiple times.
Describe your perfect
evening.
A delicious gourmet meal with good wine in the company of 2-3 good
friends.
When do you feel your most inspired to write?
Often when I first wake up
in the morning.
What do you do when you
get a writer's block?
I take a break and do something else…take a walk, call a
friend, read something unrelated.
Who is your favorite
author?
Last book you read.
“Underground River” by Martha Conway
What would you do for a
living if you weren’t a writer?
I don’t
make a living as a writer. I am
retired. I spent my career as an
organization consultant and leadership coach.
Who is the one person
who has influenced your personal life the most and why?
My mother, who
maintained a “career” at a time when most women didn’t, served as my role model
to pursue my own life and dreams, trusted me, set high standards of performance, and always listened.
If you could sit down
and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who
would it be and why?
My dad who
encouraged my curiosity and asked great questions. Listened to my opinions and thoughts and
shared his. Always kept up with his
field and with current events so he was informed and knowledgeable. Had a great sense of humor.
What advice would you
give someone who aspired to be a writer? Start writing and make it a habit to
write every day or several times a week; join a writers group to get good
feedback; keep at it, don’t expect to write a good first draft…just write and
then revise; read good writers; and be persistent.
Do you have some links for us to follow you?
