The Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, is the beloved story of a miser's transformation. Ebenezer's First Noel shows us what happened to Ebenezer Scrooge before and after Jacob Marley and the three ghosts visited him. In this retelling, Jacob sends Ebenezer back to his days when he was in love with Belle for one last chance for love and to save Marley from his ghostly torments. Pursued by the criminal Professor James Moriarty, Ebenezer and Belle and their children Catherine and Heathcliff spend much of their lives in mid-nineteenth century Australia. Using themes and characters from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells and Dickens, Ebenezer's First Noel ties up all of the loose ends but still remains true to the spirit and style of Dickens' classic. It's a story of romance and redemption from the fog and the gas lamps of London of the Industrial Revolution to the early years of Australia's pioneers. Ebenezer's First Noel is a winner of the 2019 NaNoWriMo novel writing contest.
