Introducing the Enchantment Series, Books One and Two
Visions of Enchantment is a wonderfully exciting, and sometimes adventurous, romantic time-travel. The story of two people that time couldn't separate. Uriah, the handsome hero who came through the confines of time to wait for her. Eryn, the beautiful, sometimes confused heroine who didn't even know he existed. It was the fateful foggy night that led her back to him. Back to the town she didn't remember. Back to a time and a man she had only seen in visions-- visions of enchantment...
"You don't remember me, do you..."
Enchantment's Embrace, the continuing story of Eryn and Uriah. See what happens a year after they met. Come back to the beautiful Victorian town of Enchantment. Return with them to the log cabin in the Allegheny Mountains. Watch as the Portal once again becomes a threat to their happiness...
"You know the book said to forget about the Portal..."

WRDF launched in February of 2008 and its membership has grown steadily. I hope that means we are doing something right for our members.
We have some fabulously talented writers among us. I would encourage you to take a little time to visit a couple new pages each week. The photos, videos, blurbs, excerpts, bios, blogs, graphics, and I could go on and on, are super fun and so interesting. No one has an excuse to be bored on this site with so much to read and see.
I hope you’ve kept up with WRDF’S newest features, The Tipping Point Workshops, our contest announcement page, our bookmark giveaway page, and our free reads page. All are great promotional opportunities for writers and great fun for our readers.
Our book discussion club, LOST IN A GOOD BOOK, is going strong. We’ve had good participation and if you haven’t kept up with some of our adventurous discussion comments, you’ve missed the action.
We’ve also launched a new online newsletter, WRDF Online. Be sure to open and read your copy when it comes. You never know what you might be missing.
Lastly, you’ll notice a new WRDFCalendar Tab on your page. What a nice way to keep all our members notified of current and up-coming events. You’ll notice that Fridays are Guest blog days at Between the Lines. Why not take a moment, check the calendar, and reserve a couple of spots for yourself during 2009. You can request your dates at: btlblog@lyndacoker.com
Thank you for spending time with us. Stay safe and well,
Lynda
