Ariel Richards, a writer living in New York City, is fed up and bored with the current dating scene. She just can’t seem to find somebody interesting enough to hold her interest. Plus, any of her “relation-ships” have sailed and sunk, thus assuring her of her perpetual single status.
A flaky relationship psychic, hired as the entertainment at a friend’s party, does a reading and hands Ariel a cut-crystal heart necklace. “Take this,” the woman says. “As long as you wear it, you will have all the romance and adventure and interesting men you could ever dream of.”
Thus begin Ariel’s fantastical journeys into the past, where she is wined and dined by some of history’s most fascinating superstars: Ernest Hemingway, Vincent van Gogh, Ludwig van Beethoven, Clark Gable, Butch Cassidy, Charles Lindbergh, and Dracula (the most undead of the dead men.)
Ariel must decide in which world she prefers to live and love: Is it the past or the present? Can she ever find what she is looking for in either place? Does she even have any control over her destiny?
Along the way, Ariel learns lessons about herself, while facing her own fears and demons through these romances.

Well… I would have to say IMAGINATION. AND, the stories are very visual with a lot of conversation…much more than most books.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
If there is nothing else that you can imagine that you could be remotely happy doing other than writing, then be a writer. Otherwise, I would do something else. It takes TOTAL devotion and giving up a lot, especially if you are a woman.
Author Bio:
Hillary Kanter is a multi-award winning hit songwriter, singer, and musician, who has had over 90 songs published and recorded by artists such as Tim McGraw, Kenny Rogers, Ricky Skaggs, Martina McBride, Dolly Parton and Lacy J. Dalton-just to name a few. As a singer, she recorded two critically acclaimed albums for RCA Records, and was nominated as a finalist for Best New Artist on The Academy of Country Music Awards Show on NBC. She also toured as a singer with Latin Superstar Julio Iglesias performing numerous other times on national television. In addition, she received the acclaimed BMI Million-Airplay Award, for songs she wrote that were played over one million times on the radio.
This is Hillary’s second book. On her first book, Dating Sucks: A Single Woman’s Confessions, Obsessions and Lessons, she appeared on over 80 National Talk Radio shows, becoming a “regular” on several major market stations as a humorist and “bad date expert.”
This first novel, Dead Men Are Easy To Love, is an offshoot of sorts, from her previous book Dating Sucks.
Recently, she had a chapter published in the well- known book, Songwriter’s Digest, as well as published articles in local newspapers.
Hillary is an avid snow skier and athlete, and lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
She is a major animal advocate, and works in house renovations as her “day job.”
I have always been a history buff– and many years ago, maybe like 25 years ago, I read a book of love letters sent to Ernest Hemingway from various wives and lovers, and realized that I, too, was falling in love with him! It made me wonder what it might be like to have fallen in love with some of the most famous men in history, in THEIR time. Thus, the time-travel idea moving back and forth in time, in and out of love affairs with sexy men of the past.
