About this ebook
1828 Britain is overcrowded, while its London capital teems with the misery of the poor. Millie is a pretty teenager from the slums, who meets a young Scottish Doctor at the Tavern where she is starting her career as a working girl. Follow her as she falls foul of the law to be deported to Australia, re-acquaints herself with her doctor on board the prison ship and tries to carve a life for herself in Sydney, NSW. Contrast the shy and serious Doctor with the survivals skills of a Cockney lass as they cope with a new world of challenges in the hot dusty land "down under".
Catch a glimpse of the horrors of London's slums, Newgate prison and life on board a female convict ship. Walk the cobbled streets of early Sydney, see life in the local hospital, visit a colonial mansion for dinner, and take a forced tour of the Blue Mountains as you follow Millie and Lachlan's adventures.
This novel is based on historical fact, both in Britain and Australia in the early 19th century. Live some of the challenges of life in this era.

It started with an off-hand comment by my 4th grade son's teacher: "There aren't a lot of books for 10 year old boys." I thought: "Really?" By the time the teacher conference finished, I'd already plotted my course. Six months later I presented the first Raimy Rylan book - The World Serpent - to his class and gave everyone a copy. During the writing, I'd also decided I should do one for every grade he ascends, each increasing in complexity, language and theme. For those keeping score, that's a 9-book series. I'd essentially locked myself into a decade of the same characters. I'm not very smart that way. But wait, it gets better. I thought: "Why not take my backlog of adult thriller manuscripts and publish them as well? Kids' books in the spring, adult books in the fall." Told you I'm not very smart. But here we are anyway. The World Serpent came out Spring 2014. Killing the Man arrived Fall 2014. Raimy Rylan, Chase of the Samurai dropped in Spring 2015. The Killing Face came out in Winter 2015. Somebody stop me from thinking of anything else.
