Canadian Historical Time-Travel Romance--

Three full-length adventures in one bundle.

A powerful time-travel historical romance, Now And Then explores native Canadian history and the complicated path one woman chooses when her destiny takes her on an unusual journey.

A Distant Echo--Fortune hunters Tom and Jackson watch a movie about a long-ago tragedy. An Alberta mountain slides across the small town of Frank, trapping and killing the residents beneath a million tons of rock, also trapping coal miners deep underground.

The disaster occurred over a hundred years ago, but suddenly, inexplicably, the two adventurers are transported back in time to find that the town of Frank is intact, the disaster still a year ahead.

Can they warn people about what's about to happen?

They're about to learn lessons involving kindness, generosity, and the power of love--but they're also about to encounter brutality, disbelief, poverty and frustration.

The lives they had before are nothing more than a distant echo.

Yesterday's Gold--

A Romantic Time-Travel Adventure In Canada's North.
Hannah Gilmore is about to be married to a member of one of Victoria B.C.'s notable families. But first, she's promised to take her mother, Daisy, to Barkerville, the historical site of a B.C. gold rush, to search out the resting place of an ancestor. Daisy insists on bringing her incontinent dog. And the trip becomes impossibly complicated when her mother invites her difficult friend, Elvira, along. A bridge collapses, and suddenly Hannah and her irritating companions are in Barkerville, but it's 1868, the height of the Cariboo gold rush. Hannah and her companions soon learn that women have no rights in this time and place.
But the three women are stubborn, intrepid, and imaginative.

Hannah, who was about to be married, finds that now she's falling in love, and the man she loves is accused of murder, a hanging offence.

Can a modern-day woman trapped in a long ago time find a way to save the man she loves?
