I am thrilled with the review by Wheldon Curzon of my book, "3:41 A Novel", not simply because it was favorable, which is great, but also because he got it...he understood what the book was about. In fact, he even picked up on a couple things that I didn't realize were in there. A very perceptive, very honest review. I am most impressed. And, yes, I would like to do an interview, at your convenience. Thanks for all your help...Dennis Aiden LockhartMay 2011

Title: When Fate Steps In
Author: Shirley A. Roe
What makes a story great? One that draws you in, captures you, and never lets you go until the final page is turned. Even then, a great story stays with you for days afterwards because you have become part of the characters’ lives and know their every thought and feeling. You have laughed with them, cried with them, and shook with anger when they are wronged. You relate to them and what they go through. You consider them like family and you would fight for their happiness if you could. This is exactly what Shirley Roe has accomplished in the writing of When Fate Steps In. She has a true gift with words that accomplishes all that and more.
Early on, the reader is faced with a question. Is life a predestined series of events, or is life what you make of it? Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to follow the path to happiness, life has other plans for you. Such is the case for Mary Margaret and Elana, the daughters of Doris Madison. The rural area around Chatsworth, England in 1845 is a world centred on class differences. The aristocracy holds the money and power, and the lower class work for them without much chance of reward or advancement. Doris has brought her girls up to work hard and be content with their lot in life. They don’t need fancy belongings to be happy, and it is just accepted that they will marry their own kind. The wealthy have been brought up to believe themselves to be far above the commoners, although some can be more ignorant about it than others. Ms. Roe creates two distinct worlds and clearly shows how they are separate and yet often become entwined.
Mary Margaret and Elana are so different in many ways, and yet they have one common goal. They both want nothing more than a normal life brimming with happiness, but it quickly becomes obvious that isn’t in the cards. Mary Margaret, marrying into the aristocracy against the wishes of both families, is the catalyst for a series of events, involving among other things, murder, kidnapping, and wrongful imprisonment, that will have the reader contemplating the inherent good and evil that live within different people and the effect they have on those around them. Mary Margaret’s new mother-in-law, Lady Evelyn Birmingham, is obsessed with wealth and power, and when her son, Charles, marries the housekeeper’s daughter for her beauty, goodness, and intelligence rather than her station in life, she formulates a plan to destroy everyone involved and guarantee her control over the family estate. What results is a domino effect of one tragedy after another which tests all of the characters’ faith to the limits. The reader, knowing the truth behind the events, is vaulted to such levels of sorrow, anger, and frustration that it becomes unbearable at times, but to me that is the sign of a great author – one that can make me feel that I am living through these trials along with the characters.Obviously, I don’t want to give away any more of the plot than I have, but I can honestly say that Roe puts her heart and soul into this story, filling it with emotion that overflows the pages. I felt intense frustration for the pain that the characters had to endure, and I actually shed tears more than once before the story was over. This is a wonderful example of faith and perseverance conquering evil, and I highly recommend this book to all readers. It truly has something for everyone.
