I love reading although I have to pace myself because when I stick my nose in a book I tend not to come out until I've finished. I don't eat properly, housework goes out of the window and it is amazing I make it to work, lol! Luckily im a fast reader so it doesnt impact for too long. Obviously I love twilight/Harry potter (just to get the obvious out the way, lol!). I enjoy horror, biography especially music ones and real life forensic books. Recent highlights have been the ring (kenji Suzuki) battle royale (Koushun Takami) and the body farm (dr bill bass). I have just read I am legend on a recommendation that it is totally different from the film, and I really enjoyed it, gritty and a nice twist in the tail.

Jewls,
Pamela Simpson is really Pamela Wallace writing with Carla Simpson. She also writes as Dianne King. One of her screenwriting credits is for "Witness" with Harrison ford in the starring role..so you can see she isn't a hack!
I like this book because it's funny,quirky, and has a strong modern woman who finds herself in the old west having trouble with an aw shucks, no nonsense, just wait here little lady, kind of man. He is a fish out of water in modern times. Her mom and his friend get in on the time travel too.
I believe she wrote this for Tom Selleck! BTW it's still availiable from amazon and other places even though it's 21 years old!

Book Description
Publication Date: March 1, 1990
A blend of sci-fi and mystery, nicely told. "For private eye CJ Grant, it was one of those mornings. She'd barely survived one hell of an eathquake, when the handsome cowboy in the Steson and boots who saved herlife coolly informed her that he was Sam Hackett, a US Federal Marshal from 1882. Just what she needs - another macho male who's only passing through. Of course it wasn't Sam's day either. One minute he was hot on the trail of a notorious outlaw, the next he was caught in a crazy world of horseless carriages and fast talking women, like CJ who enterains some strange notions about the opposite sex. Together they're tacking a cold blooded killer who's cut a bloody path across two centuries."

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King’s heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination—a thousand page tour de force.

Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment—a real life moment—when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history.

Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.

Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life—a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.
A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.
