About this ebook

When sixteen-year old Tammy Travoix meets her father's friend and Vietnam veteran, Vincent Malloy, she falls in love at first sight. This is the first of her three dreams. The second is to be a doctor and the third is to buy and renovate an old house on River Road.
Tammy helps Vincent, a broken hearted drunk, find his feet and his estranged parents. Soon he appears to forget Tammy, leaving her behind for a successful partnership in an investment company in the city. In time he falls in love with another woman, marries and has a child which destroys Tammy's first dream.
She carries the heartache with her through medical school and on to war torn Africa where she works in a hospital to raise money for Monique Sanders, a girl who she suspects is Vincent's daughter by a previous girlfriend. It is here that she is attacked by rebel soldiers and is severely injured. Her second dream hangs in the balance.
She returns to Australia and slowly recovers from her injuries. She finds out that Vincent, who has divorced his wife, has purchased the old house on River Road and is restoring it. Her third dream, her final dream has been taken from her.

In 1985 Graeme took up fly fishing in Tasmania and during this journey he kept a diary which was used to produce his first non-fiction book "Come Fly Fish With Me," which has now been published as an ebook. This book received wide acclaim from the fly fishing fraternity. He then completed a correspondence course on writing and began writing articles for sporting and travel magazines. In 2008 he published his second book on fishing "If Only The World Would Go Fishing." This book is no longer available having been sold out. His main ambition was to write fiction, so in 2010 he published "Hawkins' Grove" which has also been converted to an ebook. "Come fly fish with Me" and "Hawkin's Grove" are available in hard copy from "Window on the World" bookshop in Ulverstone, Tasmania. Mountain Pride, The Ghost Ship,The Gates of Hell and The House of Dreams are only available as ebooks. In June of 2014 Graeme uploaded the first book in his trilogy "The Orphan and the Shadow Walker: The feedback has been very positive. Sales from the second and third book have been encouraging.

He has just published a new book called "A Fortunate Destiny," a love story set in the early seventies around the trauma of the Vietnam War. "Tears in Thailand" has now been published.
