Gold (Stolen Years Book 1)

Gold, is a richly drawn, evocative, stand-alone novel. 

ORPHANED, BETRAYED, and DETERMINED, Jane Mutta's adventures lead her to the 1850s Australian gold rush and encounters with (highwaymen) bushrangers. Amidst the dangers, there are rocky entanglements on a coach and steamship with the explorer Douglas Fife. To survive, she will need all her resources.

Something different in the way of romantic historical fiction. This is an adventure through humour and historically tragic events. It is more than historical romance — judge for yourself; Miss Mutta breaks stereotypes. 

This edition contains video links to Australian landscape painting by Ryn Shell, designed to give readers a view of the country described in the novel.
