You summed up the mystery that the host body must be the same gender. That's smart thinking :)
It must be frustrating for Joe to be in the body of a child and unable to communicate. Maybe that's about to change?

This was a difficult part to write. I know everyone knows it's pure fiction, but I have to make it appear real so readers would react the way you have in this review. I'm so pleased you said that. Thanks Joy! Big hugs, Sandra xxx
Comment from write hand blue
Hi Sandra, I'm a little behind at the moment so here goes.
I believe that the strange voice inside Michael is an important part of the story, it gives a supernatural feel and reminds the reader that this is about a time loop.
I like the realistic accent of Mildred this also adds to the story. I never thought of the conflict that would occur with being host in the opposite sex. We can see the problems that occur with transgender sufferers so you are right to ovoid this.
I couldn't see any problems.

Thank you for another lovely review, Mel. Yes, I needed to point out that it would not be a good idea for Joe to have a female host, but as you say, it's best not to go too deeply into that. Thanks again, my friend. xxx

As I was reading, I thought for the first time about reincarnation. But, Veronica has to ability to go back and forth in time. By using it to solve problems is a must for her. For one important reason, she has to. Her son, Michael is a host. Veronica's Travels can last many series.

Thank you, Phillip. I had thought of it ending up as a trilogy, this being the second in the series, and I've already got ideas for the third. More than that? I would love to think I could. That was so nice of you to say that, it's so encouraging. Bless you! Big hugs. my friend. :) Sandra xxx

Hello Sandramitchell,
Lovely piece of General Fiction depicting its theme in a very interesting way!
Smooth and captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end.
Phraseology is simple as well as impressive, and perfectly matching the theme.
Your decision to split it into parts is praiseworthy.
I'm waiting for the 2nd part.

Very well organized and written. I enjoyed reading about all the different colorful characters. The plot appears to be easy to follow;therefore, the readers will not get lost in your story line. The writer is completely enthusiastic about triggering the reader's curiosity about the endless wonders of time travel.

Comment from bob cullen
Firstly allow me to say this is not my general form of reading. That aside, I can't help but comment on the writing. I found nothing to fault. It flowed so smoothly. Three times I hit the skip button, but your writing kept coming back. I'm now glad it did. It really was good

Thank you so much, Bob, that is such an encouraging review. I have to tell you though, my time travellers are everywhere, and if anyone hits the 'skip' button, they cancel it! I'm really pleased you did read it, as it's reviews like yours that give me that extra boost to continue. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xxx
Comment from Pam (respa)
-I like the image. Whose residence is that?
-A good chapter, Sandra, one that
seems to have a lot of clues about Joe.
-I think that is a quality of a good story
when it gets the reader to think about it.
-Joe seemed to be seeking attention, and
maybe was frustrated.
-It is so sad that an innocent 3 yr. old has
to be the brunt of whatever it is. He had
no idea he was smashing his toys, and when
he is himself again, he will be upset and
wonder how he could have done this.
-I hope there is an answer soon for Michael's sake.
-James's perspective on this will be
interesting; maybe he will have an idea to help.
-What are runner beans?

The cottage is my dream home, Pam, it will never happen, but the dream lingers. :))
Thank you so much for that lovely compliment, my dear friend, that really put a smile on my face.
Joe is frustrated and a little frightened. He doesn't want to be there any more than Veronica does. It's not for much longer though. Nuff said!
Michael won't suffer, being a child he accepts things more than an adult would. I'll have all the clues and some answers in place after the next part. And then Mildred will have lots to do.
Runner beans, I'm sure you must have them, perhaps with a different name. I'll send you an e-mail with a photo, because the only way I can describe them is, they are long and green with red beans inside, and that doesn't sound right.
Thank you, my dear Pam for the lovely stars and wonderful review, I always look forward to what you have to say. Watch out for the email. Big hugs, my friend!! :)) Sandra xxx

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Sandra. I thought it was a beautiful home; no wonder you like it! Glad my compliment made you smile. Will be glad to see Mildred having a bigger role; don't you miss my little Mildred dialogues🙂I am not familiar with red beans; the only red ones I know are kidney beans and I have never seen them in a pod--will await the picture!

Hello Sandra,
"What's gotten into you, you little imp?"
Well, I can't imagine what gotten into him. LOL
Excellent touch with the light switch,
so many things that would certainly fascinate anyone from a century and a half ago.
Using Veronica's thoughts in the story works well.
"Put him down to play with his toy car and Lego"
seems Joe is learning enough about the future to become rich in his own time
even Barbie dolls.
A good ending. Apparently, Joe has no control, which is consistent with the first book.
Must be those meddling committee guys from the future. (when we they ever learn)
I still don't like the committee trying to manipulate the past,
I prefer the mystique in the first novel, but we will see how it all works out.
Well done once more,
RS

LOL!! Robert! You always make me laugh. I didn't think of that when I wrote 'what's gotten into you...' That is so funny! I'm not changing it, but I wonder who else will see that.
The way I'm writing the committee into this book means I can take them out if I think it isn't going to work at a later date. I will take notice of what you and anyone else says, as it's the reader who is the important part in any writing at the end of the day.
I really appreciate your reviews, my friend, I know you will tell me straight what you think, and that's the best a writer can wish for, at least, that's what I think. Thank you, Robert, and a humongous hug for the lovely 6 stars. :)) Sandra xxxx

Comment from BOO ghost
okie dokie. Read part two later. Character list helps. This really grabs my attention: 1846. She meets ten-year-old, Daveth, who wants her to find his father, Joe Hammett, who has disappeared through a time-loop into the future. Veronica's future. Science has proven that time can be manipulated. Holy cow. She learns that Joe is on the run from Sir John, the Lord of the Manor he works for. Joe had inadvertently seen the 'devil' albino son that Sir John is hiding away until he can decide what to do with him now his wife has died. you got a good foundation, plot and bones to play with. Like the way you think. Will bookcase this and read it again. About to fall sleep... will provide more in-depth input after I read it again. besides,i missed the first chapter and I need to backtrack. This is marvelous. Action speaks louder than words. A picture paints a thousand words. Picture a gold nugget
BOO-tastic!.
