A woman is transported 400 years into the Japanese Edo Period.
Leda and the Samurai is the story of a young woman who moved to Japan to escape her abusive family. She is slowly adjusting to her new life, learning Japanese, making friends, and enjoying the summer festivals. On the day of the famous Sendai Tanabata festival, she visits a small shrine. But when she steps out of the shrine, she steps into Edo Era Japan.
Trapped 400 years in Japan’s past, Leda and the Samurai is part fantasy, part paranormal myth, and part historical fiction. Is her coming here an accident? Or does it have something to do with the sudden appearance of European ships off the coast? Leda must discover how she ended up in this situation, and how she can get back home – or if she even wants to go back.
Excerpt

You don’t give yourself time to think. You run. You curse your friend for convincing you to wear a stiff yukata. You rip at the flowing cotton sleeves as they snag on passing branches. You scream. You cry. You run, and run, and run.
And you hope the man chasing you with a bow and arrow doesn’t kill you.
