Book Description
History shapes those who travel through it Following the unexplained disappearance of her parents, and in a last ditch attempt to save the antique store she has inherited from financial ruin, Sarah Lester takes on a deceased estate. Amongst the estate is a collection of vintage postcards which lead Sarah on a journey through time. Sarah is unprepared for what these postcards hint at about their reclusive former owner, and soon they complicate her life in unimaginable ways, transporting her to Victorian London, colonial New Zealand and to the British Raj in India. Sarah has to fight her twenty-first century instincts, and a century of emancipation, to survive. Traversing three continents and two centuries, where tiger hunts and ruby necklaces are irrevocably entwined with murders and mysteries, auction houses and antiquities, Sarah is drawn into the enigma that could solve her parents' disappearance, and the question of should she stay or should she go, gets harder and harder to answer, the deeper she delves into the past. Perfect for fans of the Outlander series and lovers of The Time Travelers Wife. What people are saying about Fifteen Postcards: "If history lessons had been this entertaining, I would have scored an A+!." -Andrene Low, author of the Excess Baggage series "This story is one for devotees of adventurous historical fiction and tales of plucky young women finding their feet." -Stephanie Jones, CoastFM Book Reviewer "I think the author has done a commendable job in bringing the story to life and it's obvious that she has used extensive historical research to ensure that the story always feels authentic and that's not an easy feat to pull off." -JaffaReadsToo, Book Blogger "Kirsten McKenzie has written a very unusual novel: part time travel, part historical, and part antique review. Sarah’s adventures in other times and other continents, linked together by the postcards and the antiques, are well researched and entertainingly written." -Historical Novel Society What reviewers are saying about Kirsten McKenzie: "McKenzie has done a spectacular job of combining well-researched history with a hint of mysterious intrigue." -Anxious Canadian Blog "Kirsten Mckenzie has written an excellent foray into historical fiction. I'm honestly not quite sure how she was able to keep up with and integrate the different settings, time periods, and characters without losing her place. But she managed it magnificently." -Author Sean Whittaker "McKenzie’s descriptions of the shop are well drawn and wonderfully evoke the jumbled chaos of layers of leftovers from centuries of everyday life." -NZBookLovers blog

Book Description
AVA It seemed like a good idea at the time. I'd met Jasmina at an old school friend's wedding a couple of months ago. I happened to be sitting with Al, who'd been my boyfriend at the time, at the same table as she and her husband, Nick. At some point during the evening I'd mentioned that I did some house sitting along with temping as a PA. Then, a few weeks later she'd phoned me and asked if I'd be available to house sit for them for a month. Her husband was to be best man at a friend's wedding in Mauritius and they'd decided that they'd like to make a big holiday of it at the same time. It couldn't have come at a better time seeing that I was 'between boyfriends' (I'd discovered that Al was married, a small detail he'd failed to mention before). I was 'between homes', seeing that my landlord had given me two months' notice to vacate on account of he was selling up, and 'between jobs', because the girl I'd been doing maternity cover for had decided that she'd rather return to work early and put up with a hot-tempered boss everyday than a wailing baby. So, of course, I'd bitten their hands off; it would give me some breathing space and time to re-coup and anyway, what wouldn't be to like about living in a chocolate box cottage in the middle of the countryside for a month, not only rent free but getting paid for it too? I'd be a fool not to, wouldn't I? So okay, maybe I should have asked more about it and maybe I should have listened when she had told me that it wouldn't be just a straightforward house sit. But no, I'd been my usual impulsive self and I'd not asked any questions apart from when and how much. So here I was, up to my knees in mud, my armpits in vegetables and I'd better not even mention the chickens, dogs and goats, let alone the drop dead sexy guy from next door who always seemed to turn up at the wrong time.LUKEOkay, I'm not normally the nosey kind, I promise, but I didn't think I'd ever been so curious about anyone; I just couldn't make out my new temporary neighbour. She was like an incredibly sexy calamity Jane in a dishevelled, fiery sort of way that made me laugh one minute and horny the next. And her long blonde hair that she kept clipped up in a tangled mess on top of her head just cried out to be released and tamed into submission, and I wanted to be the one to do it.To be honest, she couldn't have arrived at a worse time because I was just in the process of starting my new architectural business, working from home, because after ten years I'd decided to line my own pockets instead of my ex-partner's, David. We'd come to blows for the last time about six months ago about my over loaded client list compared to his; all the while splitting everything fifty-fifty. He favoured golf, expensive lunches, long holidays, having more women that I'd care to count and doing as little work as possible. So I'd decided that I'd had enough and was going to go it on my own, taking my contacts with me. But I hadn't bargained for the distraction of this wild female next door, who'd arrived at my neighbour's cottage and looked as gorgeous in mud caked wellies as in strappy stilettos.I'll be honest, we hadn't got off to a good start and I was trying to make amends, but each time something happened and I invariably ended up looking like a prized prat. I knew that she wouldn't be here in the village for long and the best thing for me to do would be to keep my head down and ignore the draw she had on me. I needed to focus on my business, because this was my livelihood, but every time I tried, something would happen and I'd be either making a fool out of myself or making a fool out of her. So, I reckoned that all I needed to do was keep my head down and to focus on my work instead of her. How hard could it be?
