Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>

Story Behind The Book

While researching my own genealogy with my children, I came across some interesting facts. I knew my great-grandfather came from Scotland. I came across a site that told about the MacGregor's and the proscription against them. It also showed some of the names taken by them, one of them being Wilcox. It was then I decided to write my story with Iain MacGregor as my hero.

Reviews

<font face="Arial" size="3">&quot;Terisa Wilcox has penned an intriguing story, filled with interesting historical detail and dialogue so realistic as to transport the reader back in time to Scotland of the 17th century. Kristianna and Iain are charming characters and Wilcox relays their attraction to one another in a fun, entertaining way. The plot moves quickly and will hold the reader’s attention throughout as Wilcox cleverly weaves conflicts into the story that threaten the two lovers’ future.&quot;<br /><br /></font>&quot;Forbidden love, deceit, trickery and distrust. If you like the sound of any of these words then you are sure to enjoy Timeless Mist. There is nothing like a book where a man has to overcome his ego and pride to conquer the woman that he has his eyes set on. What struck me most was the Scottish dialect, it is consistent and impressive. Kristianna is a sweetheart and Iain is impossible…just the way I like my romance novel men.&quot;
