[Overtime 01] • Searching

A girl doesn’t wind up naked in a Kansas creek bed without asking herself the tough questions. If the first one is “Who am I,” she’s in for a rough time… or maybe the wrong time completely! Despite the reluctant help of an 1870s trail-boss, “Lillabit” finds only contradictions. Though she’s guileless, her language shocks Texas cowboys. Though independent, she can’t rein a horse. She’s smart, but not about “current” events. And her dreams feature elevators, electricity, plumbing—and impossibility. Something awful has happened. So as Lillabit acclimates to the slow, steady world of an Old West cattle drive, is she really finding herself? Or is she, just maybe, losing worlds more than her memory? OVERTIME 1: SEARCHING is the first part of a continuing series about Lillabit, the cattle drive, the Old West... and how she got there from her own, more modern world. Written by Rita award-winning author Yvonne Jocks, OVERTIME can be seen as a very loose prequel to her series of historical romance novels (if you look those up, consider yourself "spoiled"). However, OVERTIME--despite its romantic subplot--is not a strict romance. It is a journey... A journey that may draw you into the world of the Old West, complete with cattle drives, Army forts, and the infamous Dodge City, as thoroughly as Lillabit was drawn in.
