About this ebook

Two gold prospectors meet up to become firm friends on the goldfields of far north Queensland's Palmer River. Braving the hardships of the remote goldfields and attacks from the tribes of fierce cannibalistic Aborigines who slaughter large numbers of both European and Chinese gold diggers to augment their diet, the two gold diggers latch onto a novel but dangerous and somewhat illegal method of acquiring a massive fortune in the precious yellow metal. Coming to the attention of the Queensland Police contingent, they barely escape capture before meeting with disaster and romance which consequently alters their future plans.

Now residing in the northern tropical part of Australia where he spends most of his time researching and writing books. His first book, "Cannibals' Gold" first published in 2000 and after being reprinted a number of times was rewritten and added to and is in it's 5th Edition, becoming a best seller. It even came to the attention of a TV producer who has stated that the story would make a great mini series.The fourth,"Aussie Outback Yarns" is a book of short stories, many of which are humorous and mostly factual, although some may have been stretched a little in the telling - but they all make for great reading! More books have since been added, including two non fiction books, - "Captured...The True Story of the Crew of the Ill-Fated Schooner, Nightingale" and "True Stories of Early Australia," both of which are being very well received by their readers. The author is always pleased to hear from his many readers and appreciates their critiques. Simply email him at:- silver_connect@bigpond.com or visit his website www.aussiebooksite.com
