A Jaded Contemporary Romance Novelist Finds Love in 14th Century Ireland in ETERNAL BELOVED, a Historical Time-Travel Romance by Mary Ellen Johnson

--14th Century Ireland--

Bel Lucy might be the wildly successful owner of Bella Publishing, specializing in romances, steamy and sweet, but she doesn't believe in love. Bel certainly doesn't believe in love after a wrong turn in the haunted Castle by the Sea lands her in fourteenth-century Ireland where she is forced to endure the company of the musclebound-- not to mention poorly groomed-- knight, Alaric DeLaMer.

In a time of famine and civil war, Alaric proves to be Bel's protector while dismissing Bel as a prickly creature who delights in goading him with ridiculous tales. When a duplicitous alchemist sends Bel back to the 21st century, Bel discovers she can never be happy in any time or place-- unless its beside Alaric, the complete opposite of Bel's imagined romance heroes.

Realizing she was happier in the 14th century, Bel risks everything to battle her way back to Alaric but will her eternal beloved be waiting in his Castle by the Sea?

Publisher's Note: Readers passionate about history will appreciate the author's penchant for detail and accuracy. In keeping with the era, this story contains scenes of brutality which are true to the time and man's timeless inhumanity. There are a limited number of sexual scenes with some vulgarity characteristic of the time.

MEET MARY ELLEN JOHNSON
On my first visit to Ireland, I visited Malahide Castle near Dublin. I was captivated by its stunning grounds and interior and its fascinating history, which often aligned with the fate of Ireland itself. Once I learned of its ghosts, I knew Malahide Castle, now the fictional "Castle by the Sea," would provide the perfect setting for my second time travel novel, "Eternal Beloved."

"Before I Wake" is the first novel in my four-book time travel series, "Travels Across Time." "Before I Wake" deals with a pair of star-crossed lovers reuniting and fighting in thirteenth-century Cornwall during the time of Simon de Montfort's rebellion against England's king.

I am the author of the six-book "Knights of England" historical romance series, plus "The Landlord's Black-Eyed Daughter," based on the Alfred Noyes poem "The Highwayman," which was published under the pseudonym Mary Ellen Dennis.

Upon completion of "Eternal Beloved," I will say goodbye to my beloved Middle Ages and turn my "Travels Across Time" attention first to the Colorado Labor Wars and, finally, to a haunted roadhouse on Colorado's eastern plains that may bear a close resemblance to a tavern owned by my grandfather.

When not writing, I enjoy time with my children and grandchildren and with Karma the Wonder Dog, my German Shepherd, who helped me survive COVID-19 and numerous other adventures.
