'Journeys of the Fortune Seekers - Bitter Sweet Lives - is the introductory Historical Fiction book of the four-part series. The four-book series features why pioneers left Britain and emigrated to Australia and New Zealand in the 1800s and are told in a way that you feel as if you have been on the journey as well.
I know my adversary. This is a spiritual battle between good and evil.
Dan and Charlotte, questioners of established Christian doctrine circa the 1800s, seek to leave behind their renegade reputations in Wales and England by escaping into what they hope is their promised land of Australia.
Their adventure begins with the main characters becoming overwhelmed by their needs to simply survive in the Social Darwinist world of Wales and England, before continuing by struggling through the highs and lows of the Australian gold rush.
For readers, tales of heroic ancestors might be a familiar yarn, but this book takes the reader into the 18th-century world of Australia, where survival was the first order of the day.
This is the first book of the series - Power and Authority and Temperance continue the stories; Secrets is planned to be published in late 2022.
