1453 - Constantinople
Written as an epic poem in verse, this is a story of a siege and love. Stephen and Clover find each other at the worst of times and hope to savour their newfound love in one another, in a future together, and in peace forever.This tale of epic proportion takes place during the final days of Constantinople, 1453, as 7,000 inhabitants defend against an army of over 100,000. The historical value of this book does well to inform the reader as to the way in which the siege came to be successful, and how the defenders held their position so heroically. The characters of fictional value provide great momentum and interest to the story, doing justice to history, never for an instant depriving it of substance.

But France is his home and it comes to pass that the French Exchequer needs the help of Bernard, and together something heinous is plotted; but history will never know of Bernard's ultimate service to the people of his beloved country.

Dreamtime
This is the story of a man on walkabout, trekking the centre of Australia some 60,000 yearsago. The adventures open the door to myths and legends of Aboriginal society as never readbefore. The myths, legends and wonders of Aboriginal society are many and vast, passed onby word of mouth for tens of thousands of years.If we assume that the 'religion' of these people dates back so far then we have to assume thatcreatures such as the diprotodon, megalania, and thylacoleo, just to name a few, are foreverpresent in their myths and legend. But there are indicators to show that the religion does notdate back so far, or in the least, that religion was an on-going form of practice, for the dingo[which only dates back some 5,000 years] seems to be rather active in ritual and commonplace amongst some myths and legends.Whether these stories have changed over the years [as word mouth is hard to secure as asource of historical worth] or not, I have taken the liberty, whether justly or otherwise, to putit into story form, so that there appears to be a more rudiment meaning to the entiredevelopment of Aboriginal Dreamtime, which is an eternal way of life and carries with itmany sacred meanings.I can only hope that I have created no ill-will, for my intentions are to provide others with thejoy of understanding in a way which is more effortless then simply passing over one mythafter another in a big thick book.Kulinma! Ngulakujaku-kula!This book might contain names of people who have since departed this world

Afghan
Set in South Australia, 1884; this is the story of three Afghan cameleers as they go about delivering supplies along the Birdsville Track. Follow Nak, Shir and Abdul on an adventure across outback Australia, where their pasts catch up to them in many ways. Individual feelings are tested to the limit, insecurities are measured by fear, and desire is outweighed by need. Angry and forgiving, tired and alive, eager and pessimistic. They fight against the conditions, against the hate, and against their pasts.It is a work of fiction, based on the people of the times, where prejudice is very much alive, many Afghans being treated poorly, not just for the colour of their skin, or their religious belief, but because of the expertise that the Afghan cameleers offer the Australian outback, taking work from many Australians.This story offers an in-depth look at the life of cameleers and the issues surrounding camel strings, shedding a great amount of light on the subject of camels in the outback, opening the eyes of the reader as to the great work that camel strings performed during this time of expansion.Camels were able to out-work bullock teams and horses due to their abilities to adjust to a harsh land, and the cameleers were of no exception.
