The Vicarage Bench is an Anthology of the three stories - 'She's Me', 'He's Her' and 'We're One'.
The Vicarge Bench--Out now from The Wild Rose Press
Includes all three stories in one print book.
Imagine having to share your body with an invading time traveller.
Dr. Tobias Andrews, guardian of the magic, assists each trapped spirit—but not until every story’s happy ending is assured.
In She’s Me, chubby, shy Lucy McGillicuddy who lives in a small English village in 1963 is forced to share herself with 2006 top model Jenna McBride. This experience teaches them both valuable lessons that enable them to finally accept true love.
In He’s Her, schoolteacher Carrie Temple has to make space for Vegas casino owner Rhett Parks, whose spirit invades her heart as well as her mind, and won’t leave. At first she desperately wants him to get out, but soon she can’t bear for them to be apart.
In We’re One, Vegas nightclub star Crystal Davis wants nothing to do with men until she and Ashley Parks must flee from a killer. Ashley uses magic to trap her spirit inside of him to keep her safe, but she soon convinces him it’s his safety they need to be worried about.

THE VICARAGE BENCH
“These three enchanting novellas entertain with
tales of time travel and body sharing. The stories of
growth, transformation and sweet love are inventive,
the characters unforgettable, and the dialogue well
written.”
~Gail Pruszkowski, R.T. Review (4 Stars)
“A truly delightful read. I was captured by the
events in the book but it is the characters that kept
me reading. The first story, SHE’S ME, had me
laughing out loud with the thoughts and actions of
the two heroines. HE’S HER had its equal share of
humor and I enjoyed the unique connection of the
protagonists. WE’RE ONE picks the tempo up a
notch with a suspense-themed romance and a
heroine who can hold her own. All three enjoyable
numbers are tied together by a vicarage bench, a
special rose bush, and the admirable Dr. Andrews.
