In the fall of 2008, Michelle saw Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” music video for the first time. She thought up a story to go along with the video, and wrote the first chapter as a homework assignment for class. Her classmates and teacher loved it so much that they wanted to know what happened next, so Michelle continued writing, and that story eventually became Remembrance, the first novel in the Transcend Time Saga. She’s so happy to be able to share this series with you, and hopes you enjoy reading it as much as she loved writing it!
Michelle lives in Florida, and is hard at work writing more novels for young adults.

Lizzie’s
Top Ten Favorite Love Stories
1) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen –
Lizzie and Mr. Darcy (Book, the BBC miniseries, and the 2005 movie)
This is Lizzie’s favorite love story of all
time, because it’s the one she relates to the most. She saw the movie in middle
school and fell in love with it, but didn’t read the book until it was assigned
for her AP English class at the start of her junior year. She fell in love with
the book. Realizing that a lot from the book was left out of the movie, she watched
the BBC miniseries, since it is much more detailed. She loved that, too!
2) Twilight by Stephenie Meyer – Edward and
Bella (book series)
Lizzie read the first Twilight book in 2005
when it came out, and she was hooked! She loves the romance between Bella and
Edward, and is 100% Team Edward. But while she loves the books, she wasn’t a
big fan of the movies.
3) The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa – Meghan
and Ash (book series)
This is also one of Lizzie’s favorite book
series. She enjoyed the first one, but for her the love story between Meghan
and Ash really bloomed in the second book of the series, The Iron Daughter.
This series has an amazing love story with some heartbreaking moments!
4) Titanic –
Jack and Rose (movie)
Because the love story in Titanic is
heartbreaking and intense. It’s too bad Jack has to die at the end!
5) Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare –
Clary and Jace (book series)
The love between Clary and Jace is so intense
in this book, because it’s forbidden and yet the reader is rooting for them
anyway! Hopefully the movie will be a good representation of the book. Luckily,
Lizzie discovered this series over the summer, so she was able to read them
straight through.
6) Moulin
Rouge – Christian and Satine (movie)
Lizzie and Chelsea watch this movie together
all the time when they have sleepovers. The music is wonderful, as is the love
story. If only Satine didn’t die at the end!
7) Downton
Abbey – Mary and Matthew (TV series)
Lizzie loves this television series, and
watched it in a marathon over the summer. The love story between Mary and
Matthew takes a long time to grow, but they eventually get past all their
troubles to be together. Lizzie’s favorite episode is the Christmas special,
when Matthew finally proposes to Mary, and she says yes.
8) The Vampire
Diaries – Elena and Damon (TV series)
Lizzie has read the original four books, but
she prefers the television series. She wishes Elena would let things happen
with Damon, though, instead of continuously pining for Stefan. (And vampire
Elena ROCKS.)
9) William and
Kate (Real Life Love Story!)
Lizzie adores William and Kate’s love story,
and loved watching the royal wedding on TV. It’s a fairy tale come to life.
10) The OC –
Ryan and Marissa AND Seth and Summer (TV series)
Lizzie and Drew have been watching the DVD’s
of The OC together, and Lizzie is loving it! She especially loves the first
episode, when Ryan and Marissa first meet.
Remembrance
Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era,
England ... but she doesn't know it yet.
Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at
the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she
knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking
with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he
wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she
has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being
elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend
Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out
of her mind?
Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her
fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.
Vengeance
How
far would you go to get revenge?
When Chelsea Givens discovered that her ex-boyfriend Drew
dumped her to be with her former best friend Lizzie, she'd never felt so
betrayed in her life. Then her new friend Shannon tells her she can help set
things right. Chelsea's willing to listen, but what Shannon wants her to
believe -- that she shared a past life with Drew -- is impossible. And what she
wants her to do to get him back … well, it's downright crazy.
Could Shannon be telling the truth? And if she is, what
lengths will Chelsea go if it means making Lizzie pay?
Find out in Vengeance, the second part of the Transcend Time
Saga.
*Vengeance is the short story that bridges the events in
Remembrance and the final novel in the Saga.
Timeless
IT'S A RACE AGAINST TIME.
In Remembrance, Lizzie and Drew changed the course of fate
so they could be together.
In Vengeance, Chelsea set fate back on its original, deadly
path.
Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that
are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death,
just as she did in her past life. To make matters worse, even if she can figure
out who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left for her
to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it,
she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help.
Because to make things right, they must go back to when it
all began ... and Lizzie discovers that the final events in her past life were
more sinister than she ever imagined.
