The Diary of Jean-Jacques Coupier
The Midwest Book Review said: The fifth book in the exciting "Time Travelers" series, The Diary of Jean-Jacques Coupier by Hollie Van Horne is the engaging story of Celeste Montclaire, a contemporary woman who falls into a Time Tunnel and finds herself transported to 1793 Paris -- smack into the middle of the French Revolution. With loves and loyalties on both sides of the growing conflict, she must make her choices quickly; her very life hinges upon them! A rousing and engaging novel, in touch with its chosen era of history, The Diary of Jean-Jacques Coupier is especially recommended for science fiction fans with a penchant for time travel stories. Romantic Times Book Club reviewer Tanya Kacik said: This novel is overflowing with graphic portrayals of historical events, such as public executions by guillotine. Van Horne does a fantastic job blending fact with fiction and delivers an incredible love story that will have readers reaching for this one again and again. This is a true keeper. SENSUAL ~ FOUR & A HALF STARS! Fall 2003 Ohioana Quarterly said: In this fifth book of the Time Travelers series, Hollie Van Horne has created an ingenious time travel mechanism, centered on the equinoxes and solstices. Travelers shift time for three months before returning to the present. A group of entrepreneurs have used this knowledge to form Time Travelers Inc., a specialized travel agency that, for a price, will take customers on guided tours of the past and even into "past lives." Celeste Montclaire is inadvertently sucked into one of the time portals and deposited alone in the eighteenth-century France at the beginning of the Terror, in the body of Celeste Lacombe, the recently abandoned, pregnant mistress of an aristocrat destined for the guillotine. Her efforts to stay alive, to sort out her host body's relationships with her old lover and current suitor, and to settle the loose ends of her own youthful love affair create a tangled story. Van Horne, who hails from Columbiana County, has included some interesting factual details about Revolutionary France and the settlement of emigres in the New World.
