Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.
Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?
Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.
"If you were to take a dash of Romeo and Juliet, a handful of Pride and Prejudice, and a pinch of a Disney fairytale, you'd probably come up with Remembrance!"

How far would you go to get revenge?
When Chelsea Givens discovered that her ex-boyfriend Drew dumped her to be with her former best friend Lizzie, she'd never felt so betrayed in her life. Then her new friend Shannon tells her she can help set things right. Chelsea's willing to listen, but what Shannon wants her to believe -- that she shared a past life with Drew -- is impossible. And what she wants her to do to get him back ... well, it's downright crazy.
Could Shannon be telling the truth? And if she is, what lengths will Chelsea go if it means making Lizzie pay?
Find out in Vengeance, the second part of the Transcend Time Saga.

IT'S A RACE AGAINST TIME.
In Remembrance, Lizzie and Drew changed the course of fate so they could be together.
In Vengeance, Chelsea set fate back on its original, deadly path.
Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life. To make matters worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left for her to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help.
Because to make things right, they must go back to when it all began ... and Lizzie discovers that the final events in her past life were more sinister than she ever imagined.
Timeless is the third and final part of the Transcend Time Saga.

people are reincarnated after they die.
Favorite Place
in the World: The lake with Drew.
The swing set at school.
Least Favorite
Place in the World: LA. She went
there once with her family and hated it. People were too obsessed with
themselves.
Hobbies: Drawing. Piano. She used to ice skate until
9th grade when she hurt her ankle and was told to stop skating intensely or risk
permanent injury.
Reputation: Sort of quiet. Being Jeremy's girlfriend.
(She doesn't like that one).
General
Viewpoints of Importance: Doing
well in school. Learning through reading and learning about herself through
drawing.
What makes the
character tick: People judging her
without reason.
What makes the
character likable: Cares about not
hurting people's feelings. Is nice, but for the most part doesn't let people
walk over her.
What makes the
character detestable: The way in
which she goes about getting together with Drew. Hurting Chelsea and Jeremy
(even though she didn't do it in a mean way).
Favorite ice
cream flavor: Vanilla—“There is
nothing plain about you. You are a colorful risk taker who relies more on
intuition than logic. Emotionally expressive and idealistic, you tend to set
high goals and push yourself to meet and exceed them. You are most romantically
compatible with those who prefer rocky road.”
Winter or
Summer?
Summer. I don’t like the cold weather in the
winter.
In or Out?
I’m guessing this means inside or outside? I’m
definitely an indoors girl.
Dresses or
Pants?
I usually wear jeans, but I like wearing a
dress when I’m going somewhere nice, as long as it’s not too cold outside.
Brother or
Sister?
I’m an only child, but I’ve always wanted a
younger sister. It would be nice to have someone to teach how to draw and
recommend my favorite books to.
Black or
White?
White. It’s also one of my favorite colors to
wear.
Red or Blue?
Blue, because it matches my eyes.
Facebook or
Google +?
I have Facebook, but I don’t check it
obsessively (like some people I know do.) I don’t even have Google +!
Macaroni and
Cheese or Peanut Butter-Jelly sandwich?
Mac and Cheese. I used to eat it all the time
when I was younger.
Past or
Present?
The past—I love learning about the different
ways people lived in other times.
Work or Play?
If reading for fun counts as play, then
definitely play. I always get my work done first though.
Boyfriend time
or time with girlfriends?
Boyfriend time. Balancing my boyfriend time
with time with my girlfriends is something I need to work on. I think my
friends get frustrated with me sometimes.
TV or movies?
TV, because I feel like you can get to know
the characters better when watching them every week on a television show.
Apricots or
Peaches?
Peaches, because they’re sweeter.
White horse or
mustang convertible?
A white horse sounds romantic.
Hot or Cold?
Hot! I really don’t like cold weather. (Which
makes living in New Hampshire in the winter pretty rough.)
Morning or
Night?
I’m a morning person. I have no problem
getting out of bed when my alarm goes off (sometimes I even wake up five
minutes before the alarm goes off.) I have trouble staying up late—I get so
sleepy!
Jacob or
Edward?
Edward. Jacob is a little too reckless for my
taste, with all the motorcycling and cliff jumping.
Poptarts or
Cereal?
Cereal, specifically Cheerios.
Hot Chocolate
or Coffee?
Neither—my hot drink of choice is tea. I
suppose if I had to choose it would be hot chocolate (if the chocolate wasn’t
too strong), because the taste of coffee grosses me out.
Mountains or
Beach?
Beach! I love quality beach time with my
Kindle.
Dark Hair or
Light Hair?
I’m partial to dark hair on guys.
Fall or
Spring?
Spring, because it means summer is
approaching.
Christmas or
Halloween?
Christmas—I absolutely love Christmastime!
The evergreen trees, twinkling lights, and fun decorations make winter more
enjoyable.
Lizzie’s
Top Ten Favorite Love Stories
1) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen –
Lizzie and Mr. Darcy (Book, the BBC miniseries, and the 2005 movie)
This is Lizzie’s favorite love story of all
time, because it’s the one she relates to the most. She saw the movie in middle
school and fell in love with it, but didn’t read the book until it was assigned
for her AP English class at the start of her junior year. She fell in love with
the book. Realizing that a lot from the book was left out of the movie, she watched
the BBC miniseries, since it is much more detailed. She loved that, too!
2) Twilight by Stephenie Meyer – Edward and
Bella (book series)
Lizzie read the first Twilight book in 2005
when it came out, and she was hooked! She loves the romance between Bella and
Edward, and is 100% Team Edward. But while she loves the books, she wasn’t a
big fan of the movies.
3) The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa – Meghan
and Ash (book series)
This is also one of Lizzie’s favorite book
series. She enjoyed the first one, but for her the love story between Meghan
and Ash really bloomed in the second book of the series, The Iron Daughter.
This series has an amazing love story with some heartbreaking moments!
4) Titanic –
Jack and Rose (movie)
Because the love story in Titanic is
heartbreaking and intense. It’s too bad Jack has to die at the end!
5) Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare –
Clary and Jace (book series)
The love between Clary and Jace is so intense
in this book, because it’s forbidden and yet the reader is rooting for them
anyway! Hopefully the movie will be a good representation of the book. Luckily,
Lizzie discovered this series over the summer, so she was able to read them
straight through.
6) Moulin
Rouge – Christian and Satine (movie)
Lizzie and Chelsea watch this movie together
all the time when they have sleepovers. The music is wonderful, as is the love
story. If only Satine didn’t die at the end!
7) Downton
Abbey – Mary and Matthew (TV series)
Lizzie loves this television series, and
watched it in a marathon over the summer. The love story between Mary and
Matthew takes a long time to grow, but they eventually get past all their
troubles to be together. Lizzie’s favorite episode is the Christmas special,
when Matthew finally proposes to Mary, and she says yes.
8) The Vampire
Diaries – Elena and Damon (TV series)
Lizzie has read the original four books, but
she prefers the television series. She wishes Elena would let things happen
with Damon, though, instead of continuously pining for Stefan. (And vampire
Elena ROCKS.)
9) William and
Kate (Real Life Love Story!)
Lizzie adores William and Kate’s love story,
and loved watching the royal wedding on TV. It’s a fairy tale come to life.
10) The OC –
Ryan and Marissa AND Seth and Summer (TV series)
Lizzie and Drew have been watching the DVD’s
of The OC together, and Lizzie is loving it! She especially loves the first
episode, when Ryan and Marissa first meet.
Lizzie’s
Top Five Favorite Books
1) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Lizzie was assigned to read Pride and Prejudice in the beginning of
her junior year for her AP English class. It was also her favorite book in her
past life, and reading it helped her start to remember the life she lived in
Regency Era, England. The love story between Lizzie and Mr. Darcy is one of her
favorites.
2) The Luxe by Anna Godbersen
Lizzie loves historical romance, and she adored
all the books in this series. She loves how the lives of the main characters
are intertwined. Her favorite character is Diana, and she wishes Diana had a
happier ending with Henry. Also, the covers of these books are gorgeous!
3) The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa
Gregory
Again, Lizzie loves historical fiction. This
story of Anne and Mary Boleyn was wonderfully told! She loves all the books in
the Tudors series by Philippa Gregory. The series does a fantastic job of
bringing the wives of Henry VIII to life.
4) Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Because this is one of the best book series
of all time.
5) Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Lizzie loves the love story between Bella and
Edward. She read the first book in 2005, and has been a huge fan since. She
kept trying to convince Chelsea to read it, but Chelsea waited until before the
movie came out when the series became more mainstream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This or That with Drew
Loves: Lizzie Davenport. Luxury Cars. Breaking the
rules. The City. Driving fast. Girls (before Lizzie). Being spontaneous.
Sunglasses.
Hates: Being told what to do. Anyone who does
anything mean to Lizzie (Jeremy). Staying in one place for a long time. People
who think they're better than him, especially the jocks from NH who think
they're cool but would never make it in The City. At first he hated the flashes
of the past and did anything to forget them.
Fears: Doing anything that could result in Lizzie's
death.
Education: Junior in high school.
Views on
Love/Death: Pre-Lizzie: didn't believe in love.
Post-Lizzie: soulmates. Will do anything to stop Lizzie's death. Distances
himself from death. (Unless it's Lizzie's).
Favorite Place
in the World: At first he hated the
idea of moving to NH and wanted to stay in NYC. Once he met Lizzie, he started
liking NH more. Had no more interest in New York because he realized he was
using the bustling city as an escape since it helped him forget the flashes of
his past life.
Least Favorite
Place in the World: The middle of
nowhere. Places that are too hot.
Hobbies: Driving. Mechanics/building things. Electric
guitar.
Reputation: The new city guy who thinks he's better than
everyone else, but really the people from NH think he's cool. Kind of quiet,
but people still want to talk to him. Breaks rules and gets away with it
easily.
General
Viewpoints of Importance: Lizzie.
Intelligence. European History. Confidence.
What makes the
character tick: People who suck up
to him too much. Girls who follow him around. Anyone being mean to Lizzie.
What makes the
character likable: He watches out
for Lizzie and truly loves her. Can be charming. Sees importance in education.
Understands how people think.
What makes the
character detestable: Isn't very
nice to a lot of people; thinks he's better than most people. Sometimes says
mean things about people.
Favorite ice
cream flavor: Rocky road: “You tend
to be a balanced mixture of charm and practicality. While you are outgoing in
social situations, in the business world you tend to be more aggressive and
goal-oriented. You are most compatible with other rocky-road fans.”
Day or night?
Night.
Dog or cats?
I’ve never had a pet, but I guess I would
pick a cat.
Chocolate or
vanilla?
Mixed. My favorite ice cream is Rocky Road.
Hardback or
paperback?
Hardback. They look nicer on my bookshelf.
Leather or
lace?
Don’t you wish you knew ;)
New car smell
or strawberry?
Nothing beats that new car smell.
Black ink or
blue?
Black.
Earphones or
stereo?
When hanging out in my room, I use my stereo
that hooks up to my iPod.
Pepsi or Coke?
Neither—I don’t like soda.
Steak or
Salad?
Steak, no question. Cooked medium.
Beach or
Mountain?
Mountain, because there’s skiing. The harder
the slope, the better.
SUV or
Motorcycle?
Depends on the SUV. If it’s a cool one, then
SUV. If it’s a soccer mom one, then motorcycle.
Fruit or
Veggies?
Veggies.
Dance or
Concert?
Assuming the concert is for a band I like,
then concert, no contest. Just don’t drag me to a Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, or
whatever concert that middle school girls like going to.
Play or Watch
Sports?
Watch.
NYC or LA?
NYC is easily the best city in America.
Cake or Pie?
I rarely eat either, but I guess pie.
Past or
Present?
Present. Because then there’s more control
over the future.
Lizzie or
Chelsea?
Do you really need to ask?
Drew’s
Top Ten Favorite Books
1) The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
Because this is clearly one of the best book
series of all time.
2) The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.
R. Martin
Drew stated reading these books after
watching Game of Thrones on HBO, and it quickly became one of his favorite
series’.
3) Along Came a Spider by James Patterson
Drew has read all the books in the Alex Cross
series. This is the first one, and it is still his favorite in the series.
4) Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
A friend recommended he read this before the
movie came out. He did, and ended up loving the entire trilogy.
5) Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine
This was Drew’s favorite series when he was
in elementary school, and he still has his collection. He specifically loved Say Cheese and Die.
6) Deception Point by Dan Brown
This book isn’t as well known as DaVinci Code or Angels and Demons, but it’s Drew’s favorite book by Dan Brown. (He
has read all of Dan Brown’s books).
7) The Stand by Stephen King
Drew has read many of King’s books, but this
is his favorite. He liked the end of the world aspect of it.
8) Timeline by Michael Crichton
This is a time travel book, and Drew really
enjoyed it. He liked seeing how what happened in the past affected the future.
9) Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich
This is a great book based off the real life
MIT students who figured out a mathematical way of playing blackjack that
allowed them to “beat” Vegas. Drew also loved the sequel, Busting Vegas.
10) The Five People You Meet in Heaven by
Mitch Albom
Drew read this book in middle school, and it
has always stuck with him.
Drew reads
mainly adult fiction, although he will read the occasional YA book if it is
highly recommended to him. When choosing a book to read, he veers toward
thrillers. His favorite authors are Dan Brown, James Patterson, and Stephen
King.
Drew’s
Top Five Favorite Songs
Drew
loves music, especially alternative and classic rock. One of his favorite
things to do to relax is play guitar, or listen to music. Here is a list of his
top five favorite songs!
1) “Minuet” by
Mozart
Drew danced with Lizzie to this song in their
past life, and it reminds him of her. This song is very special to both of
them!
2)
“Wonderwall” by Oasis
This is the first song Drew learned to play
on guitar. A counselor at his camp taught him how to play it, and when he got
home that summer he asked his parents for a guitar so he could continue to
play.
3) “Fire and
Rain” by James Taylor
Whenever Drew needs to chill out and relax,
this is one of his go-to songs. James Taylor is one of his favorite musicians because
of his incredible guitar playing and soothing voice.
4) “When the
Stars Go Blue” by Ryan Adams
This song reminds Drew of being with Lizzie
on the lake outside his house.
5)
“Revolution” by the Beatles
Drew’s favorite song when he just wants to
jam out!

Author Bio
In
the fall of 2008, Michelle saw Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” music video for the
first time. She thought up a story to go along with the video, and wrote the
first chapter as a homework assignment for class. Her classmates and teacher
loved it so much that they wanted to know what happened next, so Michelle
continued writing, and that story eventually became Remembrance, the first novel in the Transcend Time Saga. She’s so
happy to be able to share this series with you, and hopes you enjoy reading it
as much as she loved writing it!
Check
out her website, www.michellemadow.com,
to add her on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and her many other social networking
sites.
Michelle
lives in Florida, and is hard at work writing more novels for young adults.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10 Things you didn't know about Author Michelle Madow
1) I love singing—especially Broadway
showtunes! I have a mediocre voice though, so I was always in the chorus in
school plays. (The high point of my theatre career was when I got the part of
Pinocchio at a local theatre group when I was ten. It was downhill from there.)
If you want to hear me sing, I have an old video on YouTube (www.youtube.com/michellemadow)
of me singing "On My Own" from Les Miserables. But as I warned you,
my voice was never “the best,” or good enough to get me a lead part in high
school.
2) I was in a pre-professional dance
program for ten years. Dance was a HUGE part of my life until my senior
year of high school. I did ballet, jazz, modern, hip-hop, and some tap. When I
was in seventh grade I performed with the Russian Ballet in “The Nutcracker”—I
had the part of one of the little mice! (When the Russian Ballet tours the
country, they cast the children’s roles separately in each city.) I eventually
stopped dance in my senior year, because my program wanted me to rehearse until
10:30 PM on Friday nights. I realized I wasn’t going to be a professional
dancer, and that I preferred to have a social life.
3) I was in a sorority for my first three
years of college. I didn’t plan on doing recruitment, but one of my close
friends talked me into attending a “sorority open house,” where I ended up
receiving a bid to join the sorority. I didn’t have many friends in the
beginning of college, so I decided to join because it would help me branch out.
I’m glad I did, because I met my three closest friends in that sorority, and
they are still my best friends today. I’m not good at following arbitrary rules
though (I question every rule and need to understand WHY it’s in place if I’m
going to follow it) so I got in “trouble” with the sorority a lot. I wrote
Remembrance when I was a junior, and after signing with an agent in the summer
between my junior and senior year of college, I decided to drop out of the
sorority in my senior year so I could focus more on my writing.
4) I’ve broken both my ankles—luckily at
separate times! The first time was in fourth grade. I was playing a
make-believe game with a friend that involved fake-flying. I decided to jump
out of a tree. Bad decision. The second time was in sixth grade. I was excited
for the end of the school day, and ran to my mom’s car when she arrived to pick
me up. I randomly decided to do a ballet leap on the way there, but the ground
was icy, and I didn’t land right. Another bad decision.
5) I cannot draw. Seriously … my
drawing/painting skills are pathetic. I can barely make a stick figure.
Something doesn’t compute right when I try to draw an image. I’m so bad that I
can’t even play the game “Draw Something” because I get so frustrated! Part of
the reason I made Lizzie an artist in Remembrance is because it’s a skill I highly
admire, since I have no concept of how to do it myself.
6) I wish I’d taken writing seriously at a
younger age. I never considered writing novels as a serious possibility
until I was a junior in college. I wish I could go back in time and tell my
fifteen year old self to stop caring about dance so much (since dance was
always a short term goal of mine), and to think more long-term and start
writing novels in high school. To those of you who are in high school and are
already taking writing seriously, I give you major props. I wish I had been
more like you when I was your age.
7) I tried to play guitar for years, but
was never any good. It’s sad, but true. You see, my dad and brother both
play guitar. They’re not experts, but they’re good enough so they can play
songs and entertain people. I wanted to be able to do that so badly, so I got a
guitar and started playing when I was in tenth grade. I had trouble with
strumming at first, but I figured I would improve with practice. After two
years of practice, my strumming was still terrible, so I set aside guitar. Then
I picked it back up when I was a junior in college. I practiced almost every
day when I was a junior and senior, but remained awful at strumming. I could
only manage to strum a song right if I focused very hard on it, but then I
couldn’t sing along. Even then, the strumming wasn’t that great. Eventually, I
realized I just wasn’t naturally talented at guitar, and set it aside
again.
8) I was obsessed with Star Wars in fourth
grade. I watched the movies multiple times, and started a Star Wars action
figure collection (that I still have today). I have a Millennium Falcon for
them and everything! In fourth grade I brought my action figures to school, and
insisted my friends do the same, so we could create make believe stories set in
the Star Wars universe and have our action figures act them out. (Luckily, I
went to a very small school then—I had 12 kids in my grade—and I somehow
managed to make Star Wars cool, so no one thought I was a total loser.) I can’t
imagine what people would have thought of me if I were in public school!
9) I don’t like most cold or room
temperature foods. I have this (kind of weird) thing about hot food. I
pretty much ONLY eat food that’s hot. I don’t like cereal for breakfast, and I
definitely don’t understand the appeal of sushi for dinner. (Cold AND
uncooked?! Gross.) I’ll occasionally have a room temperature food as snack (it
happens rarely, though). But I never feel satisfied from a meal unless it’s
hot.
10) Discovering that I wanted to take
writing seriously made me grow as a person more than I had ever thought
possible. In high school and the first two years of college, I worried
about what people thought of me. I’ve never been naturally “cool,” but I wanted
to be part of that crowd so badly that I tried too hard, which resulted in them
not liking me. Then I discovered writing in the beginning of my junior year of
college, and suddenly what people thought of me wasn’t important anymore. I
realized there was no point in trying to be “cool” when there were tons of
other awesome people out there who I had more in common with, anyway, and I had
more fun hanging out with. I stopped caring about what others thought of me,
and learned to be happy and proud of who I actually am. That realization led to
me being happier in those last two years of college than I was in the first two
years of college and high school combined—and because I was more confident, I
ended up with an awesome group of friends!
