Christmas Cracker
The Christmas Cracker
​
​
Sally is a teacher living in Southern Alberta. She opens a cracker after midnight on Christmas Eve, not realizing there’s something extraordinary about the beautiful bauble. The next morning, she awakens to find herself over a hundred years in the past—in 1899! Everyone in the small town believes her to be the new schoolteacher—and her contract with the town promises to provide a husband! How can she possibly choose a complete stranger to marry?
Everyone knows that Jed, half French Canadian and half Kainai Indian, isn’t looking for a wife. But when he and Sally are thrown together, she soon realizes there is only one possible choice—in spite of what Jed or the townsfolk might expect.
A Viking Christmas

This Christmas is going to be quiet and uneventful, Liam O’Brien thinks as he traipses through the New Brunswick wilderness. He has only one thing to do this Christmas Eve. At midnight he has to pull the two snap ends of a Christmas cracker. He’ll sit under the stars, in front of a crackling fire, and see what the batty old Aunty has used to stuff the cracker. That is about as exciting as he expects it to be. Man, is he ever wrong!
This book is a compilation of my first two Christmas Crackers books. A deal! Everyone loves a deal!
The Christmas Times​​
​
Daniel Rumley, a journalist and former captain in the Canadian Armed Forces, attends a fancy-dress Christmas Eve party aboard the SS Sicamous, now a museum grounded on the beach in Penticton, British Columbia. The theme of the party is “The Okanagan Valley during WWI”. Little does he know that the party favor he receives will send him to 1915. How is this possible? and Why am I here? are just a few of his questions. And then he meets Jenny.
Jenny Coates, also a journalist, has come home to the Valley to accompany Captain Rumley on the train to his new posting in Toronto, Ontario, where she will be his assistant. Jenny isn’t expecting him to be handsome, or charming. But, he is. However, he does say the oddest things. The question in her heart is if he is as fascinated by her as she is by him.
