• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Isabella is a novel of its time when life was hard and intimidating, often short and frequently brutal in the cause of making many rich men even richer on both sides of the Atlantic. Even so, there were more people willing to stand up to legislate for the cause in America just as happened in Great Britain 50 years earlier to help the oppressed escape to live a better life. It is a story of love during the Civil War when unlikely people made individual efforts to play a part in overcoming slavery. The story alternates between gunrunning on the Eastern Seaboard, a rescued slave's efforts to repay society in Boston and Canada and a wealthy young lady's adventure up the Mississippi taking a young girl to Canada for safety and her involvement with the underground railway.

Autorenporträt

After serving over 30 years as a soldier in the Australian Army, I turned my hand to writing and love the challenge of converting my many story ideas into exciting novels, I hope my readers will enjoy. Over many years I served with soldiers, who had seen active service in many different conflicts and I picked up great stories, told to me over a beer or two. I try to include many of these true life stories into my fiction writing. By doing this I hope it gives my readers a chance to experience the life and death situations many of my mates have been in.
