Produktbeschreibung

In a tropical paradise, hell can be but a step away…

Orphaned and destitute in New York after the 1894 financial crash, and pursued by a vindictive Tammany Hall boss, it seems like a good idea for Eva Boehm to escape by joining her Aunt Maria and husband Willi in colonial New Guinea.

But she arrives to find Maria has died, and the repulsive and seriously-weird Willi has unacceptable plans for her.

A second escape with Australian schooner captain Hugo Mortimer beckons, but their idyllic voyage comes to an abrupt end when the schooner is wrecked. There follows a perilous journey in the ship's lifeboat, engaging with fierce Malay pirates, an amoral renegade Englishman, crocodiles, cannibals and the constant threat of malaria.

Could it ever be possible for Eva to survive this and find her true paradise with Hugo in Australia? (84,300 words)

Autorenporträt

After life as a surveyor in Papua New Guinea and northern New South Wales, watching his wife study Journalism made this man envious.

So this life-long reader - history, adventure, mystery, romance, biography -started writing himself. Two fingers are quite adequate.

Had stories published in Women's Weekly and other mags. Won writing competitions. Became a writing-comp judge.

But waiting for the thumbs-up from traditional publishers became tiresome.

That's why this name and books have appeared on your radar at this time via the magic of e-publishing.

Love being swept up in intriguing plots, memorable characters and exciting historical periods? You'll really enjoy these page-turners!

His secret? His Rottweiler editor/wife. No fatuous heroines, no "telling", no bad spelling or grammar escape her.

After you rip through your first book, you'll want more. (More soon.)
