From the Author
The Sequels Shadow of the Osprey and Flight of the EagleI was warmed by the wonderful comments from my readers in the UK on your site. The second and third books in the trilogy have been completed and the sequel will be released in the UK by my publishers next year. The sequel takes the reader onto the bloody frontier of the Palmer River goldfields in the years 1874 with the characters established in the first novel. It also takes the reader with the Native Mounted Police and their war against the fierce Kalkadoon warriors of central Queensland. My third book, Flight of the Eagle concludes the trilogy in the years 1884 - 86 and follows the conclusion of the curse to its end. The novel is set against the campaign in the Sudan with the British army and a return to Ireland by one of the characters who the reader has met as a baby in the first book. And for the information for the reviewer from Cardiff... the fate of the evil Captain Mort is not nice. Thank you for your kind words for a first time author. I hope to be in the UK next year on tour. Peter Watt
