Carousel Dreams by Teresa Ives Lilly
Who doesn’t want to relive at least one good day of childhood? But, which day would you choose? That is something I believe would be hard to decide, however, the one thing I do know, is at least while riding on carousels, I can close my eyes and feel like a child again. I had the opportunity to ride one of the oldest carousels in San Antonio recently with my grandson and daughters.
My name is Teresa Ives Lilly. Several months ago, I was thinking of a theme to present to Barbour Books for a collection, when I stumbled on my memory of having loved riding carousels. After doing some research into the history of carousels, I came up with the idea of doing a collection in which four young women meet their love match at a historical carousel. I was so excited when Barbour Books Publishing accepted the proposal and put together the book called Carousel Dreams.
My story, ‘Carousel of Love’ takes place at in 1910 at Conneaut Lake Expedition Park and the carousel is The 1905 D.C. Muller/T.M. Harton Carousel.

For Tamara Brand, spending the summer at Expedition Park impersonating her wealthy debutante employee seemed like a dream come true until she meets Blake Conner; just a Carnie who runs the carousel. He seems to be the type of man; she would like to get to know better if she weren’t pretending to be someone she isn’t. But, is Blake who he appears to be?
I hope readers will enjoy this collection and take time to find and ride a carousel.
