It's Halloween, and Diana Crossways is more interested in getting to her coven meeting than in staying late to close up Witch Hunt, her Salem, Massachusetts occult bookstore. Besides, there's a big thunderstorm brewing, and she'd like to get to the covenstead before it breaks. Unfortunately, a special messenger has just delivered a rare book for restoration, and Diana wants to get it unpacked and take a quick look at it before leaving. She discovers the book is an ancient handwritten volume, nearly falling apart, but just as she begins to look at it, there is a violent crack of thunder and all the lights in the store go out. The storm gets worse and Diana is driven from the workroom clutching the book only to find herself outdoors on a starlit summer night in a strange wooded landscape. Twentieth-Century Salem has vanished. 1647 England isn't a good place to be a Witch. Even if you're about to meet the man of your dreams...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Grand Sabbat
By Sires
Ok, the title was to get your attention, hopefully it worked. Edghill's novel is a historical novel, a romance and a work of fiction. Don't expect too much from it, but also don't reject it out of hand because it has the word romance attached. It is no less well written than her Bast mysteries or her science fiction and fantasy.
Diana Crossways (yes, Diana of the Crossroads is one of the aspects the Wiccan Goddess) was alone in her small pagan bookstore in Salem Massachusetts, when a mysterious motorcycle courier delivers a package in the middle of a thunderstorm on October 31. When she opens the package she discovers that it is a valuable three hundred-year-old, handwritten grimoire with no information as to why she had received it or what she was to do with it. Just as she is examining the book there is a bolt of lightning that blows the electricity, then another that send her spinning into the storm. But when she can see and hear again, she is not in Salem. She is in a midnight, summer wood under a full moon, confronting a mysterious and attractive figure who both attracts and repels her.
She flees and stumbles into a coven of witches, who take her for a visitor from inside the Hollow Hills, a creature of faery, because of her mysterious and foreign appearance. They identify the book she is still clutching as the grammarie they had given to one of their members who had been slain four years ago. She is invited on the strength of this as well as her pagan jewelry to join in their ceremony.
One of the members, Abigail Fortune, undertakes to provide shelter for her, naming Diana her niece Anne Mallow, come from London. Abigail further gives Diana with the information that she is no longer in 20th century Massachusetts, but 17th century England. Oliver Cromwell has taken King Charles I in keeping and the Puritans are changing the face of religion in England. More specifically, Matthew Hopkins, the self appointed witchfinder general, with his companions, John Sterne and Mary Phillips (the Three Unspotted Lambs of the Lord) are on the prowl seeking out malignants (witches) to be destroyed to the Greater Glory of the Lord and the financial gain of the witchfinders.
While Diana waits outside the village of Talitho, hoping another turn of the seasons would allow her to return to her own world and wondering who the mysterious figure is she had seen on her first entrance to the 17th century, unseen forces set in motion events that draw Matthew Hopkins to this small village in rural England.
When Hopkins arrives, he brings not just his companions, Sterne and Phillips, but also a man known as Upright-Before-the-Lord Makepeace who seems more a prisoner than a willing servant. Upright-Before-the-Lord is Hopkin's hell hound, a creature he regards as less than human, redeemed by Hopkins from damnation, used by him to hunt down those true Wiccans whose presence give his lies about innocent people (made in order to bolster his credibility and line his pockets) some credibility. In reality, Upright is a creature of the fog and the shadow and the night, bound hopelessly to Hopkins, but seeing in Diana his destiny.
How Hopkins tries to destroy Diana and the coven who welcomed her and how Upright struggles against Hopkins' conditioning in an effort to protect her make this book more than a romance. It's a historical fantasy novel dealing with one of the more interesting sidelines of English history.

Time travel romance at its best
By Barb Caffrey
Rosemary Edghill can write anything.
In "Met By Moonlight," an unusual time travel romance, modern day Wiccan Diana Crossways gets transported back in time on Halloween (or Samhain, if you're more traditionally oriented) to 17th century England before the "Glorious Restoration." Trouble's brewing; so many people have been hurt by Cromwell's takeover that witchburning and witch-hunts are at their peak, and those who follow the land and the older gods are in danger of being tortured and killed simply because they are different.
As in all of Ms. Edghill's work, it is historically accurate, the dialogue is crisp and witty, the characterization shines, and the romance is believable.
As Upright-before-the-Lord/Shadow falls in love with Diana, and Diana with him, there are unusual paradoxes to be solved. Worse even than the usual, "He's from this time; I'm from the 20th Century!" ones that are endemic to the time travel romance genre, Shadow may or may not be one of the elusive Sidhe -- and as such, Diana feels honorbound to protect him (as well as love him).
Will she choose comfort over love? If you pick the former, you haven't read too many time-travel romances. Yet, the way it is done is unusually perceptive.
Oh, I also want to give kudos to Ms. Edghill for finding some very, very interesting ways to explain the sexual act -- ones that added to the depth of sexual tension between the two. Not many writers can write love scenes without overly explicit graphic dialogue; Ms. Edghill is one of the few who can. That alone would make this book worth the price; the historical accuracy, incisive and amusing dialogue, and wonderful characterization is an added, welcome bonus.
Buy this book! (And every other Rosemary Edghill book you can get your hands on.)
