Ned Kelly's Son
()
About this ebook
There she meets the continent’s most notorious bushranger, Ned Kelly and a brief, passionate relationship results in the birth of the outlaw’s unknown son, Niall.
After Ned’s violent death, Orla and her son have to learn to survive in this tough, unforgiving land. Their travels, together with a faithful Waler horse named Boss Boy, take them throughout Australia and bring them up against criminals, goldminers, loggers and the police.
Ned Kelly’s Son is a sweeping saga, following mother and son and the family’s descendants through Australia’s transition from a collection of colonies to a nation born during the Boer War, in which Niall serves.
The Kellys fight injustice and champion the rights of aboriginal people through a hundred years of struggle, poverty, wealth, pain and redemption.
Trevor Tucker
Trevor Tucker retired in 2005 from the oil and gas industry and although his first interest in writing was from a technical perspective, it soon evolved to ‘faction’. The author adds: ‘Though having been bitten by the writing bug, I sometimes wonder if I have retired.’ A chance meeting with a man who saved his life, soon revealed a history that needed to be rewritten; Trevor took it as his responsibility to share a story related to his father. Ned Kelly’s Son is the author’s first novel and his interests in Australian history, bushwalking, and exploring his homeland, reflect with passion throughout the book. With believable characters and a reliance on recorded history, he implants a strong probability of something neglected or overlooked in previous records about Australia’s most notorious bushranger, Ned Kelly. Trevor’s other interests include spending time with his kids and grandkids, writing, fishing, reading, bike riding, Test cricket, AFL football, and power flow yoga. Future works include another novel of Australian history and an anecdotal short story collection.
