Divorced, and alone after her daughter moves out, Patricia Martin turns to the computer bulletin boards for friendship...and maybe love. She begins emailing another bulletin board frequenter, James Campbell, a Florida physician. Soon the friendship heats up, and Patricia finds herself on an airplane, headed for Florida....and a new life. Unfortunately, knights in shining armor turn out to be tarnished and true love doesn't always run a true course. However, sometimes love finds us when we aren't looking either!
Told almost completely through diary entries and emails, FOREVER UNTIL WE MEET is the tale of many cyber friendships. Patricia and James are like millions of others who use the computer today to find friendship, love....and sometimes more. It's filled with the hopes, the thrills, and the disappointments such relationships can bring.
Ms. Taylor's unusual style provides readers with a rather enjoyable experience. Readers take the voyeur's seat rather than a seat in the midst of the action. FOREVER UNTIL WE MEET brought back many memories for me, to the days when I first got a computer and to the many friends I made in my first days online.
Not your standard, traditional romance, FOREVER UNTIL WE MEET is instead a realistic look at relationships and internet romances. Ms Taylor has done a remarkable job in storytelling and I highly recommend FOREVER UNTIL WE MEET.
From Diane Heintz, author, publisher, Heicron, Inc.
Who can resist the temptation of an inviting stack of letters or a revealing diary just lying there waiting for us to take a peek? And who hasn’t saved some fiercely personal mementos, tucked away until we’re brave enough to face the memories they represent?
Vicki M. Taylor’s Forever Until We Meet uses the lure of these elements to draw us into a touching tale.
Forever Until We Meet skillfully presents Patricia’s growing romance in a sequence of letters, e-mails and diary pages. Her journey proves that sometimes you have to wage a battle for happiness, and that it might take several battles to win the war. For anyone who has ever been wounded by love, Forever Until We Meet proves that you are not alone—and more important, that you should not give up.
From Lori Zecca author of Love Enough for All
I felt like a voyeur reading the personal emails and diary entries of two forty-something's-unearthing the intimate details of a budding romance that literally unfolded before my eyes.
The sexual tension escalating between Pat and James had me reeling at times. Poignant disclosures courtesy of the cyber world surprised not only the correspondents, but also myself as the reader, as personal disclosures brought the cyber-couple to an unexpected level of intimacy without the two having even met.
The author's lyrical prose made the adventure almost poetic, and it was most definitely a page-turner! I recommend Forever Until We Meet to anyone looking for an enjoyable read.

Forever Until We Meet by Vicki M. Taylor is one of those rare stories that captures the heart, soul and imagination of the reader from the very first page. It is one of those stories that you just want to keep going and going – even after the last page has been reached.
Patricia Martin has reached that time in her life that is so commonly called by that tired old cliché, ‘empty nest syndrome’. Although in Patricia’s case, the nest had existed of only herself and her daughter; the husband and father had exited himself from their lives long ago. Patricia was ready for something new, to move on with her life, to have a life of her own after so many years of devoted attention to her daughter. Not that she regretted giving her life over to raising her daughter – but wasn’t this the perfect time to begin a life of her own? Patricia turned to the computer that her daughter had purchased for her and the world of virtual reality to begin the journey of her new life.
James Campbell was searching for something; something that perhaps existed only in his mind – not something that was attainable in the real world. His self esteem was at its lowest; his wife had left him – and not for another man either. His wife had left him for another woman. James turned to the computer and the Message Boards of the cyber world to begin his pursuit of the ‘unattainable’ and to build up his low self esteem.
Patricia and James meet in cyberspace at the “Anyone 40ish” Message Board. This is their story as told in their messages to each other. Come read along as their relationship escalates and grows – into love.
Forever Until We Meet is a must read. It is so very pertinent to today’s world of cyberspace, virtual reality – and instant messaging. It will go to the very top of my most beloved books. Thank you, Vicki M. Taylor, for creating such a wonderful story as you did in Forever Until We Meet.
