What’s a girl to do? Katherine Shipton has a painting that talks, an ancestor who won’t stay in her own century, and a former boyfriend with a serious ax to grind against her new fiancé. She already has a full plate, but when said ancestor sends her tripping back and forth between the 15th and 21st century without benefit of psychedelic drugs, the poor girl begins to doubt her own sanity.

At least, that's what she thinks until her oilman fiancé disappears in the Gulf of Mexico and a DEA agent knocks on her door.

Excerpt
Katherine
flitted restlessly over Ursula’s body. What was going on in that unconscious
brain? Something was. She could feel it, feel a subliminal hum, like voices
through phone wires, like electricity through power lines. Not that any such
things would exist for four hundred or so years.
“Who are you talking to, Ursula? Sylvia,
hurry!”
No
answer. Not directly. Only the echo of Mother Shipton’s words.
There’s a crossroad up ahead. Or back in
the past. Depends on how you think on it. If she takes one, well, then her
fate—and yours—is sealed. If she takes another, her fate—and yours—is changed.
The
crossroad! Was this it? The crossroad? Katherine concentrated and power hurled
across the years, out of the past and into the future.
“Grandmother! Can you hear me? This is
it, isn’t it? The place in time where destiny can change. But what do I do?
What can I do?”
“You know what to do. Like calls to like
and blood to blood. Show her! Show her where following her heart will lead her,
the treasures she’ll reap! And show her what mindless obedience to the king
will bring her!”
“But I don’t know any of that!”
“I do, child. And the visions of those
two paths will flow from me to thee to her.”
“How the hell do you know? And if you do
know, why not just show her yourself?”
“Child! What’s my name? What’s her name?
What’s your name?”
“Would you please stop talking in those
damn riddles of yours and just tell me what to do?”
“Child! The names! Remember the names!”
“You’re Ursula. Ursula Shipton. She’s
Ursula. Ursula Sontheil—oh my God! Shipton! Toby Shipton! You’re her and she’s
you and she’s Ursula Sontheil now but she’s got to become Ursula Shipton! Or
I’ll—I’ll never—”
“You’ll never be born, child. Ursula
Katherine Shipton will never be born. Nor any of the line before you from
whence you sprang.”
“I still don’t understand! If she’s
you—if you’re her—why can’t you just show her yourself?”
“I do! Through you! At this moment!
Because you exist, I exist. Because I exist, you exist. If this moment passes,
that chance is lost and I become that woman in the Tower, the one you saw in
your dream. The one who’ll never live to be an old woman!”
“Oh, God, my head hurts!”
About the Authors:
Jude
Pittman
emigrated from Canada to the United States with her mom and brother when she
was 14. Her time there included 12 years in Texas where the genus for her first
murder mystery, “Shadows Are Deadly” now part of Jude’s “Murder on My Mind”
trilogy first took root. In 1992 Jude returned to British Columbia where she
met her husband John. The couple moved to Calgary, Alberta where they continue
to live. Descended from the Shipton line, Jude has always been fascinated with
the historical and legendary stories about her late and often maligned
ancestor, Mother Shipton and her gifts of prophecy. The Sisters of Prophecy
series is a fictional account of those Shipton sons and daughters who inherited
Mother Shipton’s gifts.
Gail
Roughton
is a native of small town Georgia whose Deep South heritage features
prominently in much of her work. She’s worked in a law office for close to
forty years, during which time she’s raised three children and quite a few
attorneys. She’s kept herself more or less sane by writing novels and tossing
the completed manuscripts into her closet. A cross-genre writer, she’s produced
works ranging from humor to romance to thriller to horror, sometimes in the
same book. She’s never quite sure
herself what to expect when she sits down at the keyboard. Now multi-published
by Books We Love, Ltd., her credits include the War-N-Wit, Inc. series, The
Color of Seven, Vanished, and Country Justice. Currently, she’s working on
Black Turkey Walk, the second in the Country Justice series, as well as the
Sisters of Prophecy series, co-written with Jude Pittman.
