The University of Miami medical student, Colleen –nicknamed Lee - Tyson, is a complete misfit. She dislikes a lot of things about the Twentieth Century, the clothes, the hair styles, and the men she finds offensive. She didn’t belong in it; but until a college friend, Cord, places her under hypnosis, she didn’t know why. She regresses to her former life in Atlantis of fifteen thousand years ago and views a world of wonder; where blue light automatically turn on as she walks into a dark room. She loves the soft flowing clothes, the hair styles, the buildings, the deep purple roses and even the foreign sounding language she understands perfectly, it matches her dreams that had always be odd. Gathering every bit of information available on Atlantis, Lee finds nothing in the literature compares to the advanced civilization that she viewed under hypnosis, until Cord gives her a scuba diving brochure that reads ‘Come dive Atlantis in Bimini’. Lee, a scuba diver since sixteen, decides she will dive the area during spring break and asks her sister Christine to come ago. On their second dive Lee sees the area she had viewed under hypnosis only now it is in ruin. Swimming ahead of her bored sister, Lee touches her amethyst necklace, thinking about how pretty the area used to be, she swims through a coral encrusted arch. Suddenly she is standing on dry land, no longer in her twentieth century world.

Loved your book and thought the story line was really good. Have to agree with Wendyn though on the spelling, it felt somehow as if predictive text had put in the wrong words. I think it would be a good idea to have someone proof read it for you. Would love to read more of your work, you are good at characterisation and I was totally gripped!

Maryann, I loved your book. It has a very good story line and good character developement. The only negatives I see here is the editing. Several times I came across words that didn't seem to fit the dialogue, or where misspelled. Don't worry though, my first book I put out for people to read also contained many errors. As authors, when we read our own material, we already know the scenes and the things going on and we tend to skim through the work, missing the more detailed errors that others… (more)

You are very talented and I enjoyed your story. I hope to read more from you in the future.
