About this ebook
Falsely blamed for a mining accident in England, the engineer James September is exiled to an isolated silica mine in the Portuguese mountains. It is 1882 and he finds that life in the primitive mining village is more than he bargained for, a place where repressed lust and superstition are rife.
James’ troubled past comes back to haunt him and he must struggle with the results of a sinful relationship and the terrible price he has to pay for his transgression. Before long the mountains are set alight with other dangers as Spanish brigands invade and James and a handful of survivors must flee their wrath.

It’s not such a big step from pictures to writing.And that’s how it started out for me. I’ve illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.Having such a visual background, mostly it’s a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that’s why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a ‘Western movie, fast paced and full of action.’I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
