AVAILABLE NOW! “TICKING: THE HAWKING SEQUENCE”
Ticking: A Tale of Two Time Travellers was Craig’s first novel, and the beginning of a series. Ticking: The Hawking Sequence continues the time travel adventures of Skypilot Sewell and Zachary Burling after their historic inaugural mission to England in the year 1766.
Sky’s Aunt Beatrice developed time travel. Now, she reveals to her friend and colleague, Alim, that she has sent two people back in time and that a young woman, Helena Harrison, was brought to Fraserdale from 1766.
The story unfolds at the theme wedding of Sky and Helena, two young lovers who traversed through time to be together. Invited to witness their vows is family friend Sam Richter, a CSIS agent, who is not in town just for the wedding; he has been directed to investigate the work of the scientist, Beatrice Westover.
Bea outlines for Sky and Zac a mind-numbing mission; “to go to Jesus’ time, find him and record him, to prove his existence. You’ll have to learn Aramaic, the lingua franca of the time, from Alim. He will go with you and will help if your Aramaic fails.”
Dressed in tunics, the three are ready inside the K2 phone booth. But, just as the time travel process is engaged, Beatrice’s cat, Hawking, steps on the unattended keyboard, sending the chrononauts to the wrong time and space.
Richter witnesses the glitch and confronts Beatrice, who has no choice but to have Sam attempt a rescue. Richter follows the chrononauts, who have been captured. What wonders will they see? What characters will they meet? Will Zac ever forget the taste of Sassafras?
Come see what happens! Oh, bring your goggles…
The Hawking Sequence is available at Amazon or on your Kindle.
Coming Spring 2021...Ticking: Finding Jesus
Ticking: A Tale of Two Time TravellersSkypilot Sewell loves the past. It’s no surprise then, that when his brilliant inventress aunt Beatrice provides him with the opportunity to time travel, Sky is immediately on board. His best friend Zac Burling will take a little more convincing…
So begins the young men’s journey through time, space and 18th century England—where, separated from each other immediately, they meet a host of fascinating characters. Among them are people of fancy and fact, including the charming and roguish highwayman Jacques DuTemps, the beautiful Lady Rachel, and Brummbär the famous bear, as well as history’s own Henry Cavendish, the celebrated scientist and natural philosopher, and John Fielding, the ‘Blind Beak’ of London and co-founder of Britain’s first police force, the Bow Street Runners. The pair has 39 days to find each other and enjoy what history has to offer without being found out… or hanged for witchcraft. Will Sky and Zac have the wits to survive the 1700s? Can Sky really leave Helena to the history books? And how to explain their Nikes?
