Poisoned Dollars

Stuart G. Yates

Sinossi

In the quiet Kansas town he now calls home, Byron James works as a school teacher, far removed from the bloodshed of his younger years. But peace is a fragile thing, and James’s past is riding hard on his trail.
 
Once a war hero turned cowboy, James made a single, tragic choice, which cost him a decade behind bars and marked him for death. When a former student turns outlaw and forces James into hiding stolen money, the threat turns personal—and deadly. With his wife’s life at stake and a relentless U.S. Marshal on his trail, James must walk a razor’s edge between justice and vengeance.
 
A gritty western set on the American frontier, POISONED DOLLARS is the first book in the Byron James Westerns series by Stuart G. Yates.

The Exiles

Vivian Stuart

VOYAGE TO THE LAST FRONTIER...
The first book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
They were transported from 1780s' England, packed like cattle in cargo compartments: scammers and prostitutes, thieves and murderers — doomed to build His Majesty's new colony in Captain Cook's anchorage in Botany Bay.
It was a cruel fate even for the toughest of individuals but especially for 15-year-old Jenny Taggart, who was sentenced to lifelong exile for a crime she did not commit. Will there be a future for her in this unknown country, or will she succumb to a rough and brutal life?

Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.
