For Sean Corrigan the past is simply what happened yesterday, until his twenty-first birthday, when he is given a journal left him by his father’s brother Michael—a man he had not known existed. The journal, kept after his uncle fled from New York City to Ireland to escape prosecution for a murder he did not commit, draws Sean into a hunt for the truth about Michael’s fate.Sean too leaves New York for Ireland, where he is caught up in the lives of people who not only know all about Michael Corrigan but have a score to settle. As his connection to his uncle grows stronger, he realizes that within the tattered journal he carries lies the story of his own life—his past as well as his future—and the key to finding the one woman he is fated to love forever.With the appeal of The Time Traveler’s Wife and the classic Time and Again, this novel is a romance cloaked in mystery and suspense that takes readers inside the rich heritage of Irish history and faith. Until the Next Time is a remarkable story about time and memory and the way ancient myths affect everything—from what we believe to who we love.

This mature (includes drunkenness, casual sex, violence, and quite a bit of swearing) adult novel is the story of Sean, an Irish-American who travels to Ireland in order to find out the truth about his uncle, a former NYPD officer who fled to Ireland after being accused of murder and a man whom Sean...
This multi-generational (to say the least) tale starts with Sean receiving his uncle's journal in 1996 -- an uncle he had no idea existed. As he reads Michael's story about going to Ireland as a cop fleeing a murder charge, Sean becomes intrigued with the story and eventually goes to Ireland himsel...
I really wanted to love this book and liked the reincarnation idea as I really enjoyed that angle in books like Ferney, by James Long. The Irish setting was interesting and I found I got a bit of an insider's view on Ireland. However, I found that I didn't connect well with the characters and didn'...
2 things interested me about this novel:1. The Amazon Vine blurb compared it to 2 of my favorite time travel books: Time and Again and The Time Traveler's Wife2. It's written by the producer and writer of the television show "Lie to Me" which is one of the few crime/mystery shows I've ever really li...
