Two people drawn together; which would be the hero, which the villian? Who would save life here on earth as we knew it? Who would help the Adversary walk among us? Was it the old woman or the young girl? It was a guessing game and only one player knew the answer but was he willing to play?

While on a field trip to Bodie, Ca., schoolteacher Lilly Dey, who is about to be married, steps into a dilapidated whorehouse and is suddenly whirled back in time to 1880, where she finds a "customer." Assuming she is a prostitute, he demands she get into bed. Lilly finds herself living in an era when Bodie was the rowdiest gold mining town east of the Sierra Nevada. Her life becomes entangled with prostitutes and outlaws and a devilishly handsome bounty hunter who shoots her and tries to bury her alive. She learns about love, loyalty and deceit. And she brings to Bodie a slice of twenty-first century boldness and eccentricity. As an assumed hooker, she must deal with the stigmatism of the times while proving to everyone that all women deserve equality. Thinking the love of her life is dead, she is forced to make an agonizing decision when she uncovers a mystery to her past and ultimately a glimpse into the future.

Jason Rhodes, convinced that he is the favorite of a lesser god, whose name will remain anonymous, has two driving ambitions. He must become a famous writer (He wisely does not ask for any prizes) and he must have Stephanie Howorth, a young Mississippi girl so endowed with attributes, both physical and mental, that Aphrodite would have wept at the sight of her. Jason's first ambition suffered major setbacks early on because he and Stephanie and three other service personnel become marooned on an island in the Fijis. This is just after WWII, when young aristocratic women occasionally gave the time of day to commoners like Jason (if they were handsome enough). Jason was not only handsome he was practically the only man around, and so his second driving ambition made great progress up until a Fiji chieftain decides to give them a ride to the nearest airport. By this time the baby has been born and is learning Fijian. In the States Jason's fortunes switch quickly. He loses Stephanie because of one part hardheadedness and two parts stubbornness. But his books, produced late at night in an attic, begin to sell like hotcakes....Click here for more.
