When I set out to write a story about colonial Queensland’s role in the Pacific Islands labour trade, I quickly learned just how broad, how fascinating, how wild was the history of this era and of this region. As a result, the book A Flight of Dolphins has become the first title of the three-volume Land and Sea Series.
This excerpt from my author website gives a hint as to what it’s about:
Born into the turbulent era marking the birth of Australia, Ashley Forsayth experiences corruption, injustice and deadly peril, the joy and pain of parenthood and the terrors of the Great War as it spreads to the Pacific.
The developing Land and Sea Series ranges across this region and through the troubled times that have befallen it. The series comprises three novels: A Flight of Dolphins, available on Amazon, and two upcoming titles, The Forgiving Spirit and Child of the Land and Sea.
