PIRATES OF THE MIST
Tracy L. Ranson
[
Time Travel Romance] Old legends told a tale of a pirate curse placed on the town of Mystic Harbor. On the anniversary of the pirate Tristan Hamilton's death, Michaela Martin slips back in time and comes face to face with her fantasy. Despite her deep passion for Tristan, she must make a decision: use her knowledge of history and save his life, risking a paradox in her own time, or... MORE. "A rollicking joy ride of a story, filled with action, deception, sea battles, love, lust, a hot hero, feisty heroine, and did I mention sex? I adore this story. 5 Stars"—Ecataromance. "Tracy L. Ranson has created an excellent read. I was enthralled from page one and finished in one sitting. 5 Stars" —Review Your Book. "The sex is hot and sweaty, described in explicit terms for the reader's enjoyment. For adventure and romance, [this] is a story sure to thrill its readers. 4 Hearts" —The Romance Studio. "Excellent story! Doesn't every girl long for her very own pirate? Ms. Ranson has a winner in this one!" —Paranormal Romance.

ABOUT TRACY

     Tracy L. Ranson has always had a dream to write books, as well as give enjoyment to others. Her love of writing stemmed from a love of history instilled to her by her father. Instead of reading normal children’s books to her and her siblings as children, he would always have a history book ready to read. As Tracy grew older, she would read them and really lose herself in the past, especially the medieval period. Tracy loves the Vikings so much, she married one! Her husband is of Norwegian descent and looks typical of what a Viking would look like with the tall height, deep muscle build, and high cheekbones. She is trying desperately to get him to pose for covers, but he still resists.
     Tracy started out with a degree in Engineering and worked in the field for seven years before she realized what her first true love was—romance writing. Since 1997, she’s written eleven books with quite a bit more coming! She lives in the Midwest with her husband John, three cats, and two dogs. Each of them, in their own way, inspire her writing.

INTERVIEW

Q: What inspires you to write?

A: Everything inspires me to write. The feeling of being alive is what prompts me to pour my feelings and thoughts into a book.

Q: Where do you come up with your stories?

A: Sometimes, I come up with the title first or perhaps a bit of the plot then I construct the entire story around that particular tidbit. It’s a process that takes time.

Q: What was your favorite novel to write and why?

A: I will have to say Pirates of the Mist was my favorite. I got the idea many years ago after seeing the movie, The Fog. I swore to myself then (keep in mind, I was about ten years old) that if I ever got good enough to write a book, I’d use this plot. So I did.

Q: What is a typical day like for you?

A: My day typically starts at around 6a.m. I get myself ready and take care of all the pets. Then, it’s off to my dreaded day job. When I get home, I try to fix a bit of dinner then I settle down to writing.

Q: What are your favorite hobbies?

A: Knitting, painting, sewing, cross stitch, needlepoint, crocheting, and just about anything else I can lay my mitts on.

Q: How do you unwind and relax?

A: Knitting is my favorite passion right now. After I get done writing, I’ll sit and watch a bit of TV and knit like an insane person.

 

REVIEWS for Pirates of the Mist

5 Stars: "Time Travel Romance…
     Michaela felt like she belonged somewhere else. In the midst of a fog, she was transported back through time to 1720.
     I have always loved time travel books, especially a good romance. Tracy L. Ranson has created an excellent read. Michaela and Tristan work well together. They have an instant connection. Ranson successfully adds twists to the plot. I was enthralled from page one and finished Pirates of the Mist in one sitting. Fans of romantica will enjoy Pirates of the Mist." —Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book

5 Stars: "If you are looking for a time travel romantic adventure, look no further than Pirates of the Mist by Tracy L. Ranson. Pirates of the Mist is a rollicking joy ride of a story, filled with action, deception, sea battles, love, lust, a hot hero, feisty heroine, and did I mention sex?
     The adventures keep coming as Michaela adjusts to life in the past, and tries to understand her feelings for the captain, Tristan Hamilton, a man that she had been devoted to studying before the time transference. I adore this story. It is richly filled with the historical atmosphere of life aboard a pirate ship, and I cannot wait to read more by this author. Did I mention sex" —Susiq2, Ecataromance

4 Angels: "The reader gets a very good idea of who Michaela and Tristan are. Their characters are developed and they feel like very real people. The storyline is fast paced as it takes place mainly on the ship. The fighting, romance, and erotic action are fully incorporated within the storyline. The author fully utilizes Michaela’s knowledge of the future to enhance and further the story. It had this reader wanting to smack Tristan when he doubted what Michael was telling him. All of it added up to one highly entertaining book. Pirates of the Mist is a terrific time travel story that romance readers will enjoy!" —Susan T, Fallen Angel Reviews

4 Hearts: "Pirates of the Mist by Tracy L. Ranson is a passionate adventure through time. It is an exciting tale of a headstrong modern woman and dominating pirate and how they fall in love. A stimulating battle of wills where it is hard to tell if they are going to fight or make love and where many times these encounters end in a combination of the two. The sex is hot and sweaty, described in explicit terms for the reader's enjoyment. The smoke and fire of the canon during a sea battle and the clang of the swords as pirates fight for control of the ship come to life for the readers through the words of Tracy L. Ranson. The past and the present come together in a unique way and the ending will definitely leave the reader smiling. For adventure and romance, Pirates of the Mist is a story sure to thrill its readers." —Anita, The Romance Studio

"Excellent story! The writing flowed beautifully and the battle scenes were well-researched. Doesn't every girl long for her very own pirate? Hopefully, Ms. Ranson will write more historically-based novels. She has a winner in this one!" —Nancy Eriksen, Paranormal Romance
