Historical adventure

A HERO DISGRACED; A REPUTATION FRACTURED... Early settlers at opposite ends of the continent strive in the face of overwhelming environmental odds, battling everything the urgencies of a fledgling nation can throw at them.

The Parnham family, a blue-blood family in the lush farmlands east of Sydney, thrive on the back of their prize merino flock, ensuring generations of wealth, success, and growing status.

In the heat of outback Queensland, the Cuthbertsons are confronted with drought, choking dust and the tyranny of distance to achieve the respect of their community.

When World War II commences and ultimately interferes with the respective lives of the Parnham and Cuthbertson families, the ripples are set in motion that cause the families to question their morals, their place in society and even themselves.

Will Spokes recently retired after a lifetime in the commercial radio and insurance industries. He has a sharp sense of humour and an ever-inquisitive mind. His three grandchildren are his greatest joy in life and his wife his greatest supporter. Will has always enjoyed literature of all genres and some of his happiest memories involve a good book, a glass of wine and a warming fire. Sustained illness and partial loss of mobility gave him the opportunity to take up writing full time and develop some of the stories that had been floating about in his head. Will writes stories that demonstrate his flair for drama, peppered with his laconic humour and extensive research. Will enjoys quality popular writing as well as the classics. Life is too short to drink poor wine and read poor writing.
