Praise for Elena Collins: 'The emotionally powerful story of Katherine Ferrers really gripped me and the spooky sightings of her ghost were spine-tingling. Elena writes so beautifully and weaves the threads of the stories together so masterfully. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, it's a brilliant read.' Nicola Cornick 'A wonderful book by a fabulous author. Very highly recommended.' Louise Douglas 'The Lady of The Loch held me spellbound from the first page to the last. With two storylines beautifully woven together to create a seamless tale of love, loss, betrayal and, above all, hope, it's a must-read. Collins's detailed knowledge of the period trickles through the tale wrapping the reader in a vivid shifting world as it moves between the 14th century and present day. Cleverly researched and exquisitely written, The Lady of The Loch is a timeless story of hope, family and love. I loved it.' Alexandra Walsh What readers are saying about Elena Collins: 'Amazing book, couldn't put it down. Beautiful story, held me focused from the very start. A must read if you are a lover of history, romance and spirits. Perfect!!!' 'Beautifully written, totally believable, an historical eye opener and love story. What more could you ask for?' 'I adore how this author weaves the past and present. All three of her books have familiar settings for me, and so, it was easy for me to picture the places; that said, she's described them so beautifully, I can see everything just as a picture. Great writing in my "book". I tend to always enjoy the past timeline rather than the present, but get bored with historical novels?! I'd recommend Elena Collins until I'm blue in the face.' 'This time slip novel is totally believable and beautifully crafted. The emotions from another time are strong enough to resonate in today's world. You just want to read and read and not put it down. This author's books are always delightful.' 'Another beautifully written book from this author. Her writing really draws you in and you can feel the atmosphere oozing out of every page. Loved this story and can't wait for more books by Elena Collins.'
