After her life gets off to quite the rough start, Deanna finally finds her groove; however, just when she thinks everything has smoothed out, a seemingly innocent experiment gone awry suddenly transports her back to none other than the one and only Tombstone, Arizona – the very stomping ground of Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp, and other legendary icons of Western lore. Now, with her fate intertwined with that of incorrigible outlaws and burgeoning heroes, Deanna struggles to carve out a place for herself as a modern woman in a bygone cultural era...

With vivid, lifelike characters and a well crafted central storyline, What Might Have Been is an entertaining, multi-layered read. In convincing fashion, author Margaret Mater deftly combines elements of science fiction and romance to foster an imaginative tale of compelling historical fiction. Through Deanna and her often amusing exploits, Mater takes the reader on a vicarious journey back to a time of relative innocence and new discovery, when the “Wild Wild West” was just beginning to leave its indelible mark on American history. Thoroughly descriptive and well researched, What Might Have Been has something for fans of Sci Fi, Romance, and History alike, as Mater interweaves the three disparate genres into a seamless narrative of love and adventure in a not-so-distant world of humanity at its rawest – and, thus, most pure.

Featuring solid storytelling and powerful visual imagery, What Might Have Been is an engaging debut from a promising new literary talent. An entertaining, enjoyable page-turner.
