The Old Curiosity Shop Series

History shapes those who travel through it

Determined to save the antiques store she has inherited from ruin after the unexplained disappearance of her parents, Sarah Lester discovers a jumbled collection of vintage postcards which lead her on a journey through time.

Unprepared for the story the postcards weave about their reclusive former owner, Sarah’s life is thrown into disarray as she is transported to Victorian London, colonial New Zealand and to the British Raj in India.

Sarah’s journey through time could solve the mystery of her parents’ disappearance. But one impossible question remains: what will staying in the past do to her future?

Time changes everything, even history

After disappearing amidst a spray of bullets, antiques dealer Sarah Lester leaves behind no body, only questions. And Sarah’s friends are left dealing with the aftermath of her disappearance, including an investigation into the provenance of her antiques, which threatens to crush The Old Curiosity Shop.

As Sarah struggles to reunite with her father, she continues the search for her mother, unaware the violent colonial past has followed her home, putting herself, and those she loves in danger.

From the remote shores of New Zealand, through India’s hill country stations and onto the streets of Victorian London, Sarah must decide whether family bonds are strong enough to stretch through time.

An English girl. A Roman soldier. A rift in time.

Will their lives ever be the same?

As winter approaches, Lillian’s family struggle with their farm. Returning the barren pasture to nature might be her mother’s dream, but it’s causing friction in the community they now call home. When ancient ruins are discovered on their farm, emotions boil over as treasure seekers and government agencies descend like locusts. But ancient altars aren’t the only riches lying beneath the soil at Ithaca Farm.

Lillian must separate fantasy from fact but time is running out. And playing with time has consequences.

When the power of the past threatens to collude with someone much closer to home, perhaps the greatest threat to Lillian’s family and friends isn’t Rome?

A sweeping tale of friendship, love, acceptance, and the corruption of power.

What if Rome never fell?
