Produktbeschreibung

"The Accidental Time Traveller: Barkerville, 1886" follows time-traveling historian Elliot Mercer as he investigates four individuals from a frontier photograph: Abraham Goldstein, a Jewish pawnbroker who fled European persecution to build a business in a gold rush town; Victoria Hamilton, a Toronto-trained teacher who rejected conventional paths to create meaningful education in the wilderness; Judge Richard Beverley, appointed to bring order to the untamed region; and his wife Eleanor, a British-born woman struggling to maintain cultural standards amidst frontier roughness.

Their lives converge in Barkerville, where the harsh realities of a remote mining community both challenge and transform them. Through Elliot's unique ability to follow their stories across decades, we witness Abraham's sacrifice to provide his daughters with unprecedented opportunities, Victoria's evolution from frontier teacher to progressive educational leader, and the Beverleys' transformation of personal disappointment into cultural legacy.

The narrative explores how these seemingly ordinary lives created extraordinary ripples through time. Abraham's daughters follow divergent pathsRuth in traditional marriage, Esther as a pioneering female economist, and Miriam as a successful merchant's wifewhile maintaining their family bonds. Victoria finds unexpected professional fulfillment and personal companionship after years of independence. The Beverleys channel their childlessness into philanthropic work that benefits generations of students.

As Elliot moves between 1886, 1905, and 2025, he discovers how their brief intersection in a remote mining town created lasting connections and influence far beyond their immediate circumstances. Through their stories, we see how the frontier experience dismantled conventional barriers, revealing essential character and creating opportunities that would have been impossible in more established society.

Autorenporträt

A few years ago I started to write and publish short stories using a variety of pen names. In 2011, I wrote and published over a million words.

I write using over a dozen pen names and have published over 700 titles that represent over 1,500 short stories, novellas and plays.
My works cover 8 of the 10 categories of the Dewey Decimal system.

Recently I turned my hand to writing science fiction.
I love imagining what might be in the future, but it may not always be rosy so you tend not to see the hero saving the world on the last page on my stories. And I am fascinated by what one might find if we could travel back in time.

I write quickly, to tell a simple and entertaining story. I imagine we are sitting around the camp-fire in an era long gone. The story should be sharp and to the point so that it is memorable. I don't believe in filling 300 pages with mindless waffle.
I don't plan my stories - I put my fingers on the keyboard and let them tell the story - the ending often unfolds from my fingertips without even thinking what it might be.
