The Ghosts of Edgecroft (The Woodshed #1)

When Annie and Michael Carter buy the Carter family's ancestral mansion in rural Virginia, they expect their lives to go on pretty much as before, with Michael commuting into the city to his job as a international banking consultant and Annie staying home to work on her writing and to begin the massive renovation projects the two hundred year old mansion will need. 

But on her first day alone in her new home, Annie discovers a lost journal in a box of family papers and bizarrely is transported back to a very different era, to the 1690s, and the time of John and Lucy Carter, the first of the family name to own the property.  

Is it a dream?  Is it a vision?  Is it time travel?  Annie doesn't know, but what she does know is she is shown a glimpse of a world that she could scarcely imagine:  an old-fashioned place where husbands take a firm stand with sassy young wives in the most traditional terms.  

"The Ghosts of Edgecroft: The Woodshed Book One" is the novella length (13K words)  introduction to Annie's journey through the papers of the Carter family and through her own journey with her husband.  "The Ghosts of Edgecroft" contains sexual elements and the spanking of adult women.  It was originally published on Bethany's Woodshed.   This revised version has updated the original work to 2014, but otherwise is unchanged from the version originally published on the Bethany's Woodshed website.
