PRAISE FOR INTO THE MIST
“Into the Mist by Sharon Mikeworth will appeal to fans of science fiction, romance, drama, and mystery with a paranormal twist. Cheyenne Tanner rushes out of her house after witnessing an ugly scene that involves her husband, Brent, and a nineteen-year-old neighbor, Serena. While driving away, Cheyenne enters a thick mist. An old road leads her to a once imposing and now uninhabited Victorian mansion. Intrigued, Cheyenne explores it. Old photographs and gravestones reveal the history of a family that lived there at the end of the nineteenth century. Cheyenne decides to stay in the house for some time but an unexplained anomaly takes her to a bygone era. Augustus Moore, a man from the old portraits, captures her heart. Cheyenne must solve a mystery of the past to save their future. Sharon Mikeworth's Into the Mist will make the brokenhearted believe in love again. The author precisely conveys the ambiance of the late nineteenth century and examines the Victorian woman's role, comparing it to modern standards. Cheyenne is a true fighter. She undergoes a personal tragedy, but it doesn't make her cynical. She stands up for women's rights yet respects the customs of a different era. Cheyenne is a great example of acceptance and bravery. Augustus is an excellent romantic hero, and we immediately understand why Cheyenne admires him. This bittersweet, thought-provoking tale has enthralling elements of suspense and a nail-biting mystery as its centerpiece and even a dose of horror. I highly recommend this captivating novel to fans of historical fiction. The narrative offers a thrilling ending and a touching epilogue concludes this gripping novel.”

“Equal parts chilling, haunting, and wistful. Sharon Mikeworth writes a different style of ghost story. And just like her haunted house, one doesn’t know whether to be at ease or afraid. This is a story that is very original and unpredictable.”
— Eric Smith, Tulsa Book Review
“A thrilling and mysterious tale of second chances, Into the Mist by Sharon Mikeworth is a genre-bending dive into time-traveling romance and the thin veil between dreams and waking. Recently jilted Cheyenne finds herself homeless, jobless, single, and squatting in an abandoned Victorian mansion while she attempts to get her life back on track. Enthralled by the incredibly vivid dreams she's been having about the eerie antiquarian house, Cheyenne also develops a sleepwalking habit, and a liminal affair with a man from 1895, whose life is at a similar crossroads more than a century earlier. An intensely original mix of the supernatural, romantic, and dramatic, this captivating novel transcends genre by deftly exploring themes of healing and renewal, elevated by delicate prose and well-crafted elements of magical realism.”
