Peacocks on the Lawn (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Scotsman, Duncan Penross, lands on the pioneering shores of the colony of Port Phillip in 1838, the dawn of its pastoral era. Driven by fierce ambition and a lust for women, he is determined to build an empire.

Isabelle Waring emigrates from northern England to also forge a new life and is employed by Duncan Penross as his housekeeper. He marries her to bear his sons. As their family grows, their lives and fates unfold with tragedy, struggles yet always the hope of love. As secrets and lies emerge, can Isabelle stay loyal or will she find happiness elsewhere?

From cottage to bluestone mansion with its flamboyant peacocks on the lawn, this engrossing Australian saga is filled with the lives and passions of a pioneering pastoral family in the nineteenth century.

Autor

As a child, I was always creating and scribbling. The first typewriter I used was an old black Remington in an agricultural farming office where my father worked. I typed letters to my mother and took them home.

These days, both my early planning and plotting, and my first drafts, I write sometimes by hand on A4 notepads or directly onto my laptop, constantly rewriting as I go.

I have been fortunate enough to have extensively travelled but have lived my whole life in the Wimmera plains of Victoria, Australia.

I live on acreage in a passive solar designed home, surrounded by an Australian native bush garden. When I'm not in my office writing (yes, I have a room to myself with a door - every author's dream), I love reading, crocheting rugs, watercolour painting and playing music on my electronic keyboard.
