Book excerpt: Gold Dust is a mystery novel. It begins in Charleston, South Carolina at the beginning of the 19th Century – 1803, with the birth of a mulatto child named Eliza. The mother is white, and the father is white. So how did this mulatto child come into being? The family assumed the mother had been unfaithful with one of their slaves, and the child was given away, taken by a Creek trader to middle Georgia. This book is her story, the story of a child abandoned to a life of slavery, and the unravelling of her heritage by her mother, who eventually goes in search of her lost child. Intermixed with the story is the story of slavery in America, beginning from the first slave ships to deliver slaves to the New World, the economic impact of the invention of the cotton gin on the slave trade, and the eventual war to rid the country of the evils of slavery. The story touches on some of the greatest mysteries of the old South, including the story of the Lost Colony, the and the missing Confederate gold. Never missing a beat, the story combines the evils of the slave trade with a great ride through Native American history, the Underground Railroad, the Trail of Tears, and the cannibals of the Caribbean. Be careful where you step. You might step on an alligator! Mb, 2018.

Book excerpt: Heart of Gold, this historical novel is Book Two, in Under the Canyon Sky: about the early Grand Canyon pioneers. It is the story of gold discovery, copper mines, rockslides, outlaws, beer-drinking burros, a railway on the brink, conflicting federal regulations, and badgering by a flourishing commercial tourist industry that fiercely opposes independents. Monte Bridgestone – miner, trail-builder, guide, hotel manager, and homesteader on the South Rim. He becomes emotionally attached to the Grand Canyon and advocates its protection for future generations to behold, experience and cherish. Kirby and Sabrina O’Brien – their romance springs from below the rim and their life together evolves from prospecting to ranching. They work to preserve the legacy of the canyon pioneers by planning and financing a Canyon Pioneers Museum. Clint McCarty – Monte’s mining partner until a falling out over his rampant abuse of mining laws. He opposes making the Canyon a national park and wants it all for himself. His proliferation of mining claims hinders administrative control of the Canyon. Teddy Roosevelt – in his notorious address on the South Rim, he asks that the Canyon remain void of anything manmade. He establishes Grand Canyon National Monument, and twice returns for adventurous canyon mule trips. “Follow the twists and turns of mining, politics and romance in Heart of Gold, Dick Brown's well-written continuing saga of pioneer life at the Grand Canyon. A definite page turner!” —Dr. Gary Fogel, Author and Adjunct Professor at San Diego State University The Grand Canyon’s long journey from unexplored wilderness to a great American national park involves tangled bureaucracy, greedy schemes, fraudulent mining claims, and competition between favored commercial operators and private entrepreneurs. The government’s rough start in managing this natural wonder and the pioneers conducting their own tourism enterprises create bitter conflicts that last for decades.

Book excerpt: Waterford Ireland, 1876, sixteen year old Seamus O’Toule escapes a demeaning judicial order when he is selected to fill a request from the Colonial Governor of NSW to provide a bonded servant for a Scottish pastoral family. Arthur and Lilly Evans wish to train a boy to do the work of the son they lost in a colonial war. His good fortune will be like no other and he returns the love given him by Arthur and Lilly. In the gold-fields district that will be his new home, the young man will enjoy strong friendships, especially among people who are living under the perverted authority of powerful Senior Constable Whithers. One such friend will be Doctor Harold Cheltam, the only man who knows the truth about Whithers’ murder of his former police senior. They must watch each other’s backs, but they are people who enjoy a great gift for humour that adds a special quality to their story. Whithers will have Dr. Harold tried for a murder that he could not have committed and the Doctor’s daughter sails from London to be with him. Seamus is devising plans to upset the jury’s findings. The trial might have ended badly for Dr.Harold but for the exposure of several jurors who knew more about the murder than the police did. One juror would have a photo of ‘his spirit’ in the newspaper. The court room becomes free-for-all with jurors fighting each other and Seamus. Hellena is arrested for pushing a police officer down the steps of the gallery. The trial fails. Whithers and his cronies were also active with a fraudulent solicitor Elmo Carlton to defraud Seamus estate inherited from his adoptive Scotish parents. New friendships are emerging between Hellena and Seamus, and her English chaperone Jesse who is in love with the retiring sea captain. There will be several weddings and great humor when Seamus’ brothers arrive to be ‘encultured’ into new surroundings. But Whithers has not given up. He must discredit the doctor or have him killed in a violent home invasion that captures the whole cast of the story with painful outcomes for some. Whithers tries again and again and plots the kidnap of Dr Harold’s daughter Hellena, by this time Seamus’ love of his life. But the constable's luck is failing him and his desperate attempts lead to his downfall and great violence. Five little stories meld into the main stream of the novel giving it a wide scope for character development, for drama and humour. Chaperone, Jesse, will marry her sea Captain. The publican's daughter has a problem with one of Seamus' love sick brothers in a lively sequence of great humour. Seamus friendship with Hellena must be upset by wealthy Constance McAlistar, providing a lively story in its own right. But Seamus now has a badly disabled brother who is more strain on the emotions than most women would choose, except of course, the ever loving Hellena. Will she be rewarded for her love and devotion?
