  100 Ways I Almost Died

  Bram Connolly

  Incredible stories of combat and survival from over twenty years in the Army and Special Forces 
   
   
  For more than two decades, Bram Connolly's life was a relentless march through some of the world's most volatile landscapes, brutal conflicts and extreme training. Serving in the Australian Army and the elite Commando Regiment, he took part in dozens of high risk operations – including counter terrorism missions – each marked by close calls and narrow escapes. Many of the dangers he faced were only fully exposed hours, days or even months later. 
   
  In 100 Ways I Almost Died, readers are thrust into the heart pounding reality of military life: falling from cliffs, planes and helicopters, dodging RPGs and machine gun fire, battling hypothermia and heat exhaustion, escaping asphyxiation in a snow cave, stepping on an IED, avoiding sniper fire and leading assaults on enemy compounds. 
   
  But this book is far more than a catalogue of near misses. It's a sharp, often sobering exploration of situational awareness, the unseen hazards that lurk behind every decision and the sheer unpredictability of combat; where even the most prepared soldiers rely, at times, on luck alone. 
   
   
  Both a cautionary tale and a tribute to the resilience of those who serve, Bram offers a rare and gripping insight into the hidden and the hard-won lessons forged in moments where life hangs in the balance.

  A BOY WITHOUT HOPE is the heart-breaking story of a boy who didn’t know the meaning of love. A history of abuse and neglect has left Miller destined for life’s scrap heap. But in this turbulent story of conflict and struggle, Casey Watson is determined to help Miller overcome his demons, show him love and give him hope. 
  Casey Watson is back, doing the job she does best – rolling up her sleeves and fostering the children who, on first meeting, seem like hopeless cases. But when she meets Miller and discovers the truth about his disturbing childhood, even Casey begins to doubt if this child will ever be able to accept love. 
  Found naked and alone on a railway track, Miller was just five when he was first admitted into the care system. Emotionally tormented by his biological parents, Miller has never understood how to establish meaningful relationships, and his destructive past, and over 20 failed placements, is sealing his fate in society’s social scrap heap. 
  After a torrent of violent behaviour and numerous failed attempts to help Miller, Casey decides to make an intervention, implementing a severe regime that strips Miller of all control. But soon the emotional demands of Miller’s case start to take their toll on Casey and Mike. Just how far is Casey willing to go to help Miller and save him from his inner demons? 
  In this deeply personal biography, Casey Watson, a top author and Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the dysfunctional family life of Miller, a boy without hope. The memoirs of Miller's life are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of unimaginable hardship. 
  For fans of Ann Cusack (The Convent), Joe Cusack (Please Don't Leave Me), Linda Watson-Brown (Sins of the Father), Ashley Rhodes-Courter (Three Little Words), and Katy Weitz (Undercover Copper).

  An inspiring true story of an eleven year old boy’s rise from the tragic memories and utter despair of his years in an English Workhouse. His dreams and hope for a better life in the fledgeling Colony of Sydney, New South Wales, became a reality when in 1833 he emigrated with his wife and three small children. There he opened his business as a high class Saddler and Shoe and Boot maker in George Street. Through his extraordinary skills as a shrewd businessman, he was able to become a wealthy influential entrepreneur. Over the next 58 years, with the help of his large and devoted family, he was able to make a huge contribution, in business, local government, as well as socially and spiritually as a prominent Church Leader. Not only was his influence felt in the Eastern Suburbs, in particular, Waverley and Bondi, where he lived, but all of Sydney and parts of New South Wales. Joseph Dickson’s story has an important place in the history of our early development and as such deserves to be told in its entirety. Those who choose to read it will be richly rewarded.
