Book excerpt: Olivia Twist is an innovative reimagining of Charles Dickens' classic tale Oliver Twist, in which Olivia was forced to live as a boy for her own safety until she was rescued from the streets. Now eighteen, Olivia finds herself at a crossroads: revealed secrets threaten to destroy the "proper" life she has built for herself, while newfound feelings for an arrogant young man she shouldn't like could derail her carefully laid plans for the future. Olivia Brownlow is no damsel in distress. Born in a workhouse and raised as a boy among thieving London street gangs, she is as tough and cunning as they come. When she is taken in by her uncle after a caper gone wrong, her life goes from fighting and stealing on the streets to lavish dinners and soirees as a debutante in high society. But she can’t seem to escape her past … or forget the teeming slums where children just like her still scrabble to survive. Jack MacCarron rose from his place in London's East End to become the adopted "nephew" of a society matron. Little does society know that MacCarron is a false name for a boy once known among London gangs as the Artful Dodger, and that he and his “aunt” are robbing them blind every chance they get. When Jack encounters Olivia Brownlow in places he least expects, his curiosity is piqued. Why is a society girl helping a bunch of homeless orphan thieves? Even more intriguing, why does she remind him so much of someone he once knew? Jack finds himself wondering if going legit and risking it all might be worth it for love.

Download or read book The King s Son the Evidence written by Brad Little and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-10 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the ultimate cold case, a 125 year old mystery hidden in plain sight. This book pieces the evidence together that William James Shepherd was closely related to a member of the British Royal Family. The case is built-up and includes clues that lead to a clear path forward - readied for a compelling conclusion and resolution to the mystery. If you like puzzles and a story that twists and turns with lots of detail - then you have the right book. If you like analysis with just a touch of mystery, then you also have the right book. If you want an "easy read" book, you may have the wrong book.This book is about determination to get to the bottom of a family rumor and mystery.This is a story of intrigue and challenge about a man who left enduring clues during his lifetime about his origins. The clues appear to have been left in a subliminal manner, and at times it was like participating in a movie somewhat like the "Da Vinci Code", with clue after clue being uncovered together with their meaning. This book is about how my maternal Grandfather William James Shepherd mysteriously arrives in Australia in the early 1900's, with the skills to be able to play the Double Bass and then goes on to become Australia's No. 1 performer. And yet in 1901, he is Census listed as a "Pauper Inmate" (age 10) in a London Workhouse orphanage - straight out of the pages of the book "Oliver Twist".William throughout his life, due to his looks and mannerisms, is often compared to various members of the then British Royal Family born in the late 1800's / early 1900's.Even today some of William's descendants continue to have comparisons made with various members of the current British Royal Family.DNA tests are used to set a test to prove the link, including the invention of a system and process that enables the parsing of atDNA in to the component ancestors of the DNA tester. It is a system and process that DNA testing companies may be interested to implement as a tool - refer Chapter 8.3.The suspense in determining what is true and what is false - together with the patience needed to try to obtain DNA matches, makes for very interesting twists and turns, as the story progresses.So based on the evidence collected and presented in this book ....... Was William James Shepherd indeed related to the British Royal Family?The Puzzle as to who my Grandfather's paternal family line was is ultimately solved in the new Parts Four and Five of this 3rd Edition of this book. It was solved after years of part time investigation and the initial 1st and 2nd Editions of this book being published. This 3rd Edition proves William James Shepherd's close relationship to the British Royal Family, as my Grandfather is shown to be a maleline descendant of the House of "xyz" - refer Chapters 8 onwards for the answer.If you have previously read the 2nd Edition of this book, you may wish to skip forward to Chapter 7, and pick up the story from there with all its new material. The 2nd Edition was 200 pages whereas this 3rd Edition is 550 pages - noting they are small 9" x 6" pages.As a result of this investigation additional Royal Haplogroups have now been discovered and are documented in Chapter 10. There are some major surprises.This 3rd Edition is now available for the wider Genealogical Community to review; critique and hopefully agree with my conclusions regarding who William James Shepherd's father was.Brad Michael Little

This book pieces together the evidence that William James Shepherd was most likely the eldest son of King George V. The case is built-up and includes clues that lead to a clear path forward - readied for a compelling conclusion and full resolution to the mystery. This is a story of intrigue and challenge about a man who left enduring clues during his lifetime about his origins.

The evidence is presented about William Shepherd and how he mysteriously arrives in Australia via unassisted paid passage on a ship having just turned 17, with enough money in his pocket that enables him to purchase a farm within a year. He also arrives with the skills to be able to play the Double Bass and then goes on to become Australia's No. 1 performer. And yet in 1901, just six years earlier he is Census listed as a "Pauper" (age 10) in a London Workhouse orphanage straight out of the pages of the book "Oliver Twist". William throughout his life, due to his looks and mannerisms, is often compared to King George V's acknowledged sons - King Edward VIII and King George VI (i.e. the man portrayed in the movie "The King's Speech"). DNA tests are used to set a test to prove the link. The suspense as to whether it is true or not - and the patience needed to try to obtain a DNA match; makes for a very interesting twist. So based on the evidence collected and presented in this book ....... Was William James Shepherd indeed "The King's Son"? Please read on .......
