Time-Travel Survival Tips from Eliza Knight

                Time-Travel Survival Tips

By Eliza Knight

Thank you so much, Nicole for hosting me at Fierce Romance today! In celebration of my new time-travel release, HIGHLAND STEAM (and it is oh-so-steamy!), I wanted to give you some Time-Travel Survival Tips—and I’d love to give away an e-copy of the novella to one commenter.

Without further ado, if you find yourself whirling back through the mists of time…

 1. My husband says to pack lots of layers—but if you’re hoping to land in the arms of a hawt Scot, I’d say pack less :-)
2. Be prepared for the varying “natural” scents. Ever learned to make a pomander?
3. If you find yourself visiting the Highlands where time-travel is possible, remember to carry a survival pack that includes: toothpaste, a toothbrush, ibuprofen, anti-biotics, vitamins, tissues, I’d say tampons, but in my fantasy world, I’d never get my monthly again!
4. Don’t worry about undies :-)
5. Got a kilt?
6. Pack a sghian-dubh.
7. Be prepared to defend yourself if needed.
8. Be sure to be up to date on your horseback riding skills.
9. Brush up on your meditation skills, traveling through time is sure to mess with her you “center”
10. The term cleanliness, was quite a bit different than what we are used to in the 21st century.
11. Pace your drinking! They drink alcohol 24/7. You’ll need to build up your tolerance.
12. If you’re a lady, you might want to ask for assistance in shaving, since it will have to be done with a knife.
13. No A.C., no heat, no electricity—learn to adapt to a “natural” lifestyle. You’ll have to get used to the heat, stay near a fire—learn to light it with a flint, etc…
14. Become friends with the local healer… You’ll want to be on her nice list if you get sick.
15. Don’t eat any berries, flowers, nuts, etc… until you’ve learned which ones are good and which are poisonous.
16. Beware… There are a lot more animals roaming freely in the medieval Highlands than there are in today’s world.
17. You will probably only have two or three outfits—get used to repeating yourself. Try making some cute embroidered scarves to change things up.
18. Cellphone reception is non-existent…
19. Your emails will have to wait…
20. Don’t drink the water until it’s been boiled or comes from a pure stream!

Thanks so much for letting me share with you all! I’d love to hear some of your time-travel tips :-)

Here’s a little bit about HIGHLAND STEAM…

Tragedy strikes in the Highlands, making Drostan the laird of the Comyn clan and in need of a wife to placate his people. His only choice is to trust in magic and travel to the sacred circle of stones…where he must passionately lay claim to the woman Fate brings him.

Briana is lost and alone when magic lights up the night. She meets the man of her dreams, a man who rocks her to her very core with orgasm after orgasm and somehow manages to steal her heart. The problem? The man of her dreams lives eight hundred years in the past.
