Description

Convicts despatched from Britain's bulging gaols served out their sentences in an ancient land, wresting it from Aborigines, that it be turned over to agriculture and sheep grazing.This episode tells of Letitia Munro's descendants, their experiences, hardships, loves and heartbreaks as they unwittingly forge a new ethos.Mostly illiterate and lacking skills, some failed at farming while others succeeded, unaware of the social taboos being woven into the fabric of the nation's spawning culture.When the sins of fathers become beholden on them as society values change, must they deny their very heritage?

Author Biography:

A retired journalist, Kev spent many years touring the world, writing travel articles for airline magazines. His many adventures and misadventures became the bases for his several Action/Adventure novels. As a student of Australia's founding as a convict settlement, Kev's six novels on that unique history, including the demise of the Aboriginal Dreamtime, are now legendary. He is certainly well qualified to write these intensive histories and visions of people's traumas and courage - Kev is a Past President of the First Fleet Fellowship, Past Secretary of The Descendants of Convicts Inc and for his work during Australia's Bicentenary, was created Honorary Life Member of The Regiment of Redcoat Descendants. Several biographies of significant people also have come from Kev's busy pen. Two works have been finalists in the International EPIC Awards and all twenty novels have been awarded by professional reviewers, either 5 Stars or 5+ or 5++ Stars. His two latest, however, received from Conger Book Reviews USA, its first and only 10 Star reviews!!! All works are available in Paperback or eBook. Kev is twice married and now enjoys single life, writing on his experiences and studies, relaxing in the Himalayan foothills of exotic Thailand.
