I am BEYOND thrilled with the gorgeous cover the WBYWATTPAD team created. It's whimsical, and romantic, and most importantly it's the colors of the bi flag.
The book itself drops November 2024, and you can pre-order it here.
About the Book
Armed with a newly minted university degree and a plane ticket to Barcelona, Sam’s plan was to celebrate graduation, kissing as many drunk Spanish girls (or boys, she’s not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. When her plane goes down mid-Atlantic she’s pulled from what should have been a watery grave by an intriguing British Naval Captain—in 1805!
Stuck in Regency-era England, Sam is left with no choice but to b come a lodger of the Captain’s sister to survive this strange new time. But she didn’t reckon on the sister being Margaret Goodenough, the world-famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature.
And Sam’s not just entranced by Margaret’s powerful words…
As their attraction grows, Sam must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the future of the queer rights movement. Is Sam’s duty to preserve Margaret’s history-making book? Or to the happiness of its author, the woman she’s learning to love?
“For one who stands by the seashore on a stormy day, it is not easy to discern the moment when the tide turns. So in the historical process it is hard for the contemporary student to recognise the signs of a new age. At periods of transition the attention of mankind is diverted by the ebb and flow of the waves of culture and decay from an almost imperceptible change of direction which may be occurring in the course of human destiny. That which will be significant in the perspective of millennia is hidden from those who fix their gaze only upon the fluctuations of current events. The time span of immediate interest is very short for the average man, and the historian, whose profession is to see the process objectively, is usually dominated by the modes of thought that are fashionable in his own time.”
