Time slip that makes sense!PLACES YOU WILL BE FROM is a time-slip novel giving us a catalyst that actually makes sense: our protagonist, Ernestine stumbles across an ancient gyroscope in her professor’s closet that transports her back to the ninth century. The professor has been working on a “super string” theory in order to do this very thing, so the body switch doesn’t come out of nowhere. Oh yes, this is more than a mere travel through time; Ernestine finds herself inside the body of Poppa, the woman who is to marry Rollo, future Duke of Normandy. At least our heroine has a clue about what happened; fortunately, Ernestine was a student of history, so at least she had an idea what was going on. Poor Poppa, who finds herself in Ernestine’s body, is terrified beyond measure. And so we have a lively double story here, back and forth between Ernestine/Poppa from the past and Poppa/Ernestine in the present. But this isn’t all: when the professor tries to replicate the transference, he only succeeds partly. Poppa goes back, but poor Ernestine is only brought forward three hundred years, to invade the body of the future Genghis Khan’s wife, who again takes her place in the future. And a third time, Ernestine finds herself the wife of Peter the Great. At least she’s moving in the right direction! After the third transference, there is a delay while the slightly damaged gyroscope gets repaired; our third transplanted woman, Marta, is better equipped to deal with modern times, and she spends most of her time in the company of the solicitous Arnold, who bears a strong resemblance to her beloved Peter. This mutual attraction certainly gives Arnold pause; is he falling in love with Marta, or Ernestine?  

Throughout, the author’s historical research shines, and we learn the customs of the time and country along with our heroine. At the same time, Ernestine has some deep philosophical questions that need answering: why was she associated with these famous, influential women? Was this a case of reincarnation? Why did she experience love for these dangerous yet caring strangers? Was Arnold a critical piece of the puzzle? This is a very lively expedition through time, and we will need to listen to part two before we get her answers.



"Places You Will Be From, my first read from author S. Forrest Nomakeo.Reminiscent of Diane Gabaldon's Outlander or television's Quantum Leap, an entertaining literary journey across time. Narrator Margie Valine's voice made the 12-hour 30-minute tale pass quickly. I was given an Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it." (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
"Really imaginative, and the story was made better by the narration, which required many accents and also great depth of understanding of each character. I loved this book. Keep on!"
"I loved it! I love all of the author's audiobooks. I was upset the day of my flight I couldn’t find “awake” and ended up finding “you will be From the author audiobook in the O’hare airport in Chicago!!! I bought it right away I hope the ending of this story means there will be a second audiobook."

A contemporary woman is immersed in the body of a Ninth Century
runaway after accidently engaging the cyclic properties of the fifth
dimension. She must find a way to survive and bide her time until a
rescue can be arranged or be lost to the ages.

It’s 2016 and a struggling grad student takes on a position as
assistant to Professor Ed Roberts, a physicist, who dabbles in the
Super String Theory. After a simple adjustment to the unknown conduit,
ERNESTINE LAMBERT sends herself back in time and soon realizes she was
once POPPA DE BAYEUX of France. She lives her life while Poppa winds
up in Boston.

PROFESSOR ROBERTS finds he has more than one woman to save and is in a
race getting them back where they belong before Ernestine’s parents
have him arrested for malpractice. When the first attempt to rescue
Ernestine fails, she is vaulted forward in time to another past life.
After the professor and his colleague realize Ernestine is in more
danger in this new time and place, they suspect they’re not working
alone in this time travel melee.

ARNOLD TRUMANE is the perfect man for Ernestine, but she hasn’t met
him yet. She meets his former selves first, the barbarian, the
emperor, and the tsar. He stumbles upon a third attempt to retrieve
Ernestine and is immediately taken by the latest woman from
Ernestine’s past. Living in an alternate universe, each woman learns
to deal with adversity, language barriers, and the powerful men they
love(d).
