β¦ Synopsis
The quaint setting is well described--and the 'paranormal
event' that ties the setting to the same in another time arrives unexpectedly,
and unpredictably. The best part about this story is without doubt, the
wonderful array of characters, the importance of certain secondary characters,
and the wonderful changes and growth we see and understood, happening almost
magically before our eyes. Dialogue is snappy and at times humorous ("Hell's
bells, now I can't even cry without getting hassled...") The true selves
involved here are unpredictable --and the relationships that drive this story
are hysterical. My only complaint is that the title foreshadows one key turning
point, instead of surprising us with that, too. Still, I'd recommend you pick up
"She's Me," for one surprise after another!

From the Author
She's Me is the first book of the Vicarage Bench Series and my first book published. Therefore it holds a special place in my heart. Like with a first child, I did a lot of learning and growing while working on this project. The funny thing is that I'd sent this novella to Wild Rose as a submission for their -Through the Garden Gate Contest. They wouldn't accept the entry because I hadn't followed the guidelines...imagine that...me not doing what I was told!!?? But, they liked the concept of the story so much the way I had written it that they gave me a stand alone contract.
And so the series began...
