Back to Victoriana ( Short Story)
|
 "Victoriana" by Heather Hiestand is
an unusual twist on the time travel theme. Robyne Arthur finds a Christmas
cracker which transports her to an alternate version of Victorian England.
In this reality, time is frozen and it is always December 17th in the
heart of winter. Will Robyne learn to trust Edward, the Earl of Chester,
in hopes of saving the children of this time?
Heather
Hiestand demonstrates a remarkable amount of creativity with
"Victoriana". The entire concept is simply splendid and Ms.
Hiestand does an excellent job with Robyne's reaction to this
alternate reality. Readers will thoroughly enjoy this unique approach to
time travel!

VICTORIANA by Heather Hiestand -
Hiestand has come up with an exceptionally creative and original story
when Robyne Arthur, a young woman stumbles upon an old Victorian `cracker'
and is transported from Tacoma, Washington to Victorian England. Only it's
an England that has been frozen in time. The Earl of Chester points out
that Robyne holds the key to saving them but she would forfeit any chance
to return home. The more she gets to know the kindly Earl of Chester, she
may just decide that staying with him is where she wants to be. *** Loved
this very original time travel from the very first pages. A step back into
Victorian England. Sweetly satisfying.

4.5 Stars for Holiday in the Heart
Twelve stories that would put even Scrooge into the
Christmas spirit. It does not matter what TYPE of romance genre you
prefer. This book has a little bit of everything. The stories are set in
the U.S.A. and Europe. Some take place in the past, some in the
present, and one story [VICTORIANA] takes place in
both! I strongly suggest that you put on something comfortable, brew
up something hot (tea, coffee or cocoa will do), light up a fire, settle
down somewhere quiet and begin reading this anthology.
