Congratulations to author Jane Susann MacCarter on the release of her new YA Romance Novel (with an historic twist)!
Twice Upon A KissJune 16, 2015
College senior Stella
Denton has very few prospects and even fewer suitors—i.e. none—when a
gunshot wound to the head catapults her from her life in 21st century
Minneapolis to Jarmo, a real-life hunter-gatherer society circa 7000
BCE, located in what will become modern-day Iraq. As Stella starts
living sequentially in both the past and the present, she finds, much to
her surprise, that she thrives far more in the ancient society of
Jarmo.
Life in ancient times,
though, is not always idyllic and peaceful. An impending war in Jarmo
could get her people slaughtered unless she takes immediate action to
save herself and her tribe. Yet having something worth fighting for—even
dying for—makes Stella feel more alive than she ever has in her mundane
modern existence.
During her dual-life
journey, Stella draws the interest of Dr. Vale, an unappreciated
thirty-something professor of paleoanthropology; charismatic Chieftain
Harry of the Jarmo tribe; and young Ashur, a prehistoric teenager in
need of lessons in love. When the time comes to make an irrevocable
choice between her two lives, will Stella choose down-to-earth reality
or the allure of the unknown?
Praise for Twice Upon A Kiss

readers who want to learn from a book which is full of beautiful and
enticing descriptions of a place far back in pre-historic times, and
notice life-learning hidden messages throughout the story; someone who
enjoys a story bundled with an abundance of raw and passionate romance,
humor, great characters and loads of new found excitement." —Readiculously Peachy

Meet the Author
Jane Susann MacCarter is a Montana-based writer who was once peed upon
by 850,000 bats as she (and the bats) simultaneously exited Carlsbad
Caverns at dusk via a seldom-used egress. (Later, she swore it felt and
smelled like being misted with lemon-scented perfume--really.
Originally from Minnesota, MacCarter came into her own once she moved to New Mexico. There, she hobnobbed with psychic channelers and endangered species biologists, billionaires and game wardens, once cooked pasta with a filmstar, was jumped on by a mountain lion, and finished a half-eaten sandwich that was originally Ted Turner's. She now lives in Montana near Yellowstone National Park.
Author of a nonfiction nature guide and later a self-published novel DREAMER, MacCarter has written a romantic/adventure novel of simultaneous realities, TWICE UPON A KISS, now available from Omnific Publishing, distributed by Simon & Schuster.
