Wildwood Shadows: a novel of time travel in ancient North America Kindle Edition

It all started with a severe thunderstorm on a summer night in Munroe Falls, Ohio. Then in an instant, the storm stopped and Charlie discovered that his house was suddenly surrounded by a dense forest. Everything he knew about the world had suddenly changed. All he had left in the world was his home… well, that and the sinking feeling brought on by the knowledge that his father who disappeared just as abruptly two years prior used to dabble in time travel.

When the Shawnee Indians show up at his house one day, it doesn’t take him long to realize that he had somehow managed to travel into the distant past – long before the Europeans colonized the United States. He also quickly learns that his father is living among the Shawnee.

When his father realizes that he’d accidentally dragged his son along on a journey that wasn't intended for him, he is faced with only one option – Charlie has to be sent back. The good thing was, his son had brought all the time travel equipment with him inside the house. The bad thing was that it ran on electricity. Cannibalizing the house might provide the way to an electric generator if he could also manage the creation of a water wheel on the river.

But sending Charlie back would take some time, so that meant he’d have to learn to live among the Shawnee. He would also need to learn to survive without all the benefits he was accustomed to. And ultimately, he would need to decide if he really wanted to return home after all. Because falling in love with a woman who was already promised to another man could cause a lot of problems.

Brought to you by the international bestselling author of the Mystic Saga, Dominion, and Ghosts of Ophidian. With over 250,000 books downloaded worldwide, Scott McElhaney continues to prove that reasonable Kindle prices do not have to mean poor quality. Also check out Saving Brooksie, Beyond the Event Horizon, One Crazy Summer, and Erinyes by McElhaney.

Scott's first novel, Mommy's Choice, was originally published in paperback under the pseudonym Scott Curtis. In under a year on the bookshelves, that novel won the Christian Choice Book Award for romantic suspense. When Scott moved to a different publisher and started making his novels available to Kindle readers, he returned to his real name and reduced the prices to the absolute minimum allowed by Amazon.

Scott McElhaney currently resides in Ohio with his wife of 25 years and two sons. He's a Desert Shield veteran of the US Navy, having served on both the USS South Carolina CGN-37 and the USS Saratoga CV-60 in the Red Sea at a time when Hussein was trying to take a backward route through the Red Sea to avoid the embargo of his ships in the Persian Gulf. He also served in the Caribbean on the USS South Carolina during the 1990 Law Enforcement Ops outside of Columbia, blockading the entry of drugs into the US, which earned him the CG Special Operations Service Medal typically only awarded to members of the Coast Guard. Although his books didn't become available to Kindle readers until December 2011, over 300,000 digital copies have been purchased to date and he still maintains a position in the top 100 worldwide in the "Sci-fi Space Opera" category.

Another beautiful romance/time travel story from Scott McElhaney. If you liked Talking to the Moon, then you'll definitely enjoy this one as much.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a compromise of your principles? Be careful.

Scott, I feel this book is a compromise from your previous efforts. The storyline is good, but I think the main characters could have used restraint as your characters had done in the past. Otherwise I liked the story and the adventures of the characters. I would have liked to know a little more about the grandfather and how he ended up there and his experiences as well as his relationship with the father.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as his other work
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2017
As all of McElhaney's books this is well written but my problem here is more with the character of the characters. It seemed everyone was a little self-centered and immature. I was never really rooting for anyone and I was kind of hoping a few people would grow up a little in the course of the story. Maybe it just needs to be a little longer with more character development.
Another thing I really hate in any story is 'Insta-Love' or instant relationships. People fall madly truly in love with each other in the course of two days or two weeks. Yeah, right. You have all the paper you need, write a real story. Develop the characters and their relationships. Let us get to know the people.
I'm hunting down every book by this author because I really like his writing but this one just didn't quite measure up.
