Do you like to take long-distance train rides? My husband and I are train buffs and have taken The California Zephyr from LA to Denver, the Coast Starlight from LA to Salinas, and the Sunset Limited from LA to New Orleans. It's a great way to see the country and for writers, like we are, it's a wonderful opportunity to have some peace and quiet in order to write without interruption.
We have written 3 novels that take place on trains while we were in our bedrooms aboard Amtrak's sleeper cars. Two are time travel stories and one is a cozy mystery. We hope you'll take a look. They are available at your favorite online bookstores including, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, Google Play, Smashwords, and Kobo. I've included the Amazon buy links for each of the three novels. Here are their titles and descriptions:

Travelers in Time: A Search for the Missing
In this time travel tale, two sisters go back to the 1860s to search for their missing parents who had earlier gone on a time travel trip of their own and decided not to return home, much to their daughters' surprise. The sisters have many adventures during their journey and meet several interesting characters along the way.
There is a lot of history and research that went into this story--not to mention, a lot of heart and soul. The story takes place during the building of the transcontinental railroad and the world of post-Civil War America. Meant to be enjoyed as a standalone story, this book is part of the Travelers in Time series.
