Thanks so much for a great contest! If I could time travel…I would want to go back to the old west…probably like 1800’s when the west was first being discovered, I think it would have been really cool to have travelled with Lewis and Clark like Sacajewia did…

Hey there, Amy!
That would have been quite an adventure, wouldn’t it? To see the land so untamed and beautiful for the first time must have been something for those early explorers.
Thanks for the entry! Nice site you have.

Hello Beth! This is an awesome contest I must say! I don’t have much money to buy books anymore, so this is a really great treat for me to get a chance to get some books. I posted this at http://nightdweller20.livejournal.com/11265.html.
I know someone already said it, but I have to agree, I want to travel back and get me a tall, dark and sexy Highlander. Och, the kilts! The flowing black hair! *swoon*

I’ve guess I would like to go to the future. As long as they had something that does all the housework and cooking for you. So I could just spend the days reading my books. *sigh*
But part of me would just like to go back just a year ago so I could make the drive home to tell my grandmother how much I love her and how much she meant to me before she passed away. It bothers me so much that I wasn’t there, and couldn’t make it when she passed.

I would probably want to travel to the future. I don’t know exactly when, maybe 100 years in the future. I would love to see how things have changed (hopefully for the better).

Hi Danni, perfect, great!
Hi Ashley–Och, kilts and books!
π Thanks for your entry.
Flip–thanks so much for posting on myspace! Can you do me a favor and answer the time travel question? That way if your number is picked for the contest, I’ll know it’s a complete entry. π

Here’s a link to my blog post with the widget.
I’d time travel to the past, to either Regency England or Medieval Scotland. These time periods and locations have always held a particular fascination for me. π
April 17th, 2009 at 10:57 am · Link
Really pretty blog you have there, Bonnie. I can completely understand your fascination. So many romantic stories are told about those time periods, one can’t help but wonder how it matched up to reality.
Thanks for the entry, Bonnie!

Happy to spread the word about your book. I posted it to my blog π

forgot to comment on where I would time travel. Being a fan of Diana Gabaldon’s time travel series Outlander, I would want to time travel to Scotland. Men in kilts & swords, yum!
April 17th, 2009 at 11:41 am · Link
Hi Booklover!
Thanks for posting on your very nice site!
Gabaldon’s books are such classics. If the time travel included Jamie, I’m sure half the readers here would be Scotland bound.

hey! It is my pleasure to spread the word about your up coming release.
http://heathersreadingromance.blogspot.com/2009/04/daring-time-contest.html
I read Wicked Burn a couple of months ago and so look forward to reading more by you.
If I could time travel… it would definitely be to a time period in the distant past to either Ireland, Scotland or England. I am totally intrigued by these countries and all the history, I know its not as glamorous as the romance novels but I would still love to experience it.
April 17th, 2009 at 12:01 pm · Link
Hi Heather! Nice site! (That man in a leather skirt–oy. lol)
You know, there is a lot of romance to those sites even today. The old houses and castles sort of exude it, IMO.
Thanks for the entry, Heather.
April 17th, 2009 at 4:43 pm · Link
Thanks for the compliments on my blog. It’s still in the beginning stages, and I have a whole list of changes to make, but it has been a lot of fun (and a lot of learning).
And I swear that I met a man that could be Jamie at my local Chase Bank one day. I had to stop and stare, and no lie he had a Scottish accent to go with the whole package. What he was doing in N. Indiana, I do not know, but as you can tell it was a memorable moment. Meeting someone that eptitomizes a character that you LOVE is quite the experience π
April 18th, 2009 at 3:49 pm · Link
As you know, I’ve been spreading the word verbally as much as I can. But I also posted it today on my blog at: http://robynmichaels.wordpress.com/. I also added the info to my review at Goodreads.
I ADORE this book and these characters and can’t wait to see the finished copy when it hits bookshelves the day before my birthday. *g*
April 18th, 2009 at 3:53 pm · Link
Ooops, forgot to add where I’d time travel to if I could. I’d love to visit the Roaring Twenties – maybe in Chicago – and see all the speakeasies and flappers and gangsters. Just wouldn’t want to cross any of them…lol
April 18th, 2009 at 11:46 pm · Link
Hi Robin! Thanks so much. I just left a comment on your blog.
I’d love to tour Chicago sites with you. It’d be so cool. We recently went to a restaurant where the waiters would let you tour the old speakeasy passageways. It was an old Capone warehouse (for bibles, of course. lol)
April 19th, 2009 at 2:02 pm · Link
Hey Beth! Congrats on the upcoming release! I just cannot wait! I posted it on two of my blogs:
http://www.cookinupsomethingcrazy.blogspot.com and also http://www.readinsomethingcrazy.blogspot.com
Its at the bottom so I made sure to put a blog entry telling everyone about it.
Then, I stuck it on my Facebook profile as well: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=602994160&ref=profile
I used to think that I knew where I’d want to go back in time to, but now, I’m just not sure. I’d love to go back to Chicago during the 1920’s, just to see and experience it all… but then, I think I’d also like to go to Ireland in the ancient days too… Oh, and you can’t forget moving into the future to meet my great grandchildren and their children…
Yeah, I’m conflicted, but then, do you expect any less out of me?

If I could travel back in time…I would travel back to the time when the Celts and Druids were big, before the Romans came in and interferred.

I agree, that would be so fascinating to see what knowledge they possessed and what their civilizations were really like.

If I could I would go back in time 20 years. There are choices that I made that I would like to make differently. Mostly having to do with the education and health choices I made. And I would make different stock investments along the way. π

If I go go anywhere in time, it would be to the future. I want to know if we explore space, find other planets with intelligent life, I want to know if we beat our pollution and violence problems here on earth.

Hey there, Jeanette! Thanks so much. It would be fascinating. I always think the difference is that you’d have to be okay with being clueless to go into the future, whereas time travel into the past would afford you at least a small measure of know it all. lol. Both would take serious courage, because you’d be out of your comfort zone, but in the future, maybe more so.

Terrific contest, Beth – thanks for having it! I posted the sprout here- http://limecello.blogspot.com/2009/04/daring-time-contest.html
It always takes me forever – you’d think I’d figure out blogger and sprouts, but no. As for where I would go? I’d want to be nobility – and I’d love to go to Ancient Rome… or Regency England. (Yes, I’ve thought this out. Haha – I don’t want a hard life/experience.) π

Limecello,
I agree…how great to not only choose your time period, but your class, as well! I’d be a preistess in Rome or Greece. Although…yeah, that’d be rough, as well. Snakes over men? Well…
