The Mysterious Stone Chambers of Putnam County
Here’s a little background on the stone chambers of Putnam County. They sparked the idea for my time travel romance, Highland Passage. For more information on the background of this or any of my other books, visit my Pinterest page.
Setting for Highland Passage
This is Putnam County, the setting for the present day portions of my book, Highland Passage.
The Stone Chambers of Putnam County
THE STONE CHAMBERS OF PUTNAM COUNTY inspired my time travel romance story THIS MOMENT, which appears in THE KISS: AN ANTHOLOGY ABOUT LOVE AND OTHER CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. It has since been developed into the novel, HIGHLAND PASSAGE. I live near many of these stone chambers. They have always intrigued me. For my story, I thought they might make good time travel portals. Below are some articles with some background information.
