The launch of Book #5, "Ticking: The Great Experiment", was a huge success. Lots of fun talking about the adventures of the time travellers. Thank you to those 47 who attended!
Next one? Probably February or March 2026 for #6 "Ticking: The Grandfather Paradox". The Canadian chrononauts travel through time and space to the Klondike Gold Rush; you know, Soapy Smith, Colonel Sam Steele of the North-West Mounted Police and Frederick Trump. That's right, the President's grandfather really did spend time in Bennett, BC and Whitehorse, Yukon, running a hotel, restaurant and brothel. What do Beatrice, Sky and Zac have in store for him (don't be too hard on your keyboard answering that one)?

You're invited to my book signing on Saturday, November 29th at Chapters Coquitlam, between 1 and 4 pm. To draw you there, we'll have a prize draw. Pick up a signed copy of any of my books. They make great Christmas presents. 'The Great Experiment' (the fifth in the series) is about the Prohibition era in the USA. You know, gangsters, flappers and rum-runners. The story races to The Bahamas, where illegal booze was obtained by rum-runners like the legendary Bill 'The Real' McCoy (pictured). Writing exciting historical fiction is easy when the real-life characters are as engaging as Bill McCoy. During Prohibition, he became a household name, with a Robin Hood mystique for the American public. To further endear him into our hearts, he came complete with a lovable dog! And it is true; he never broke the law. Hope to see you at Chapters! You'll meet him in 'The Grandfather Paradox', but, for now, there he stands in the photo, in his 'parlor' surrounded by minions. The most infamous figure of the Klondike era, Smith was a ‘confidence man’, one who used elaborate tricks and ruses to talk their victims out of their money. Smith was a crook with a gift for organization, constructing an empire any Mafia don might envy. A southern charmer, he dressed like a judge, sat on a horse like a prince, and spoke like a bishop. Smith arrived in Skagway with members of his gang sometime in August 1897 and was shot and killed on July 8, 1898, during a showdown on a wharf.
