The Passage of Conquest

During an evening, promising adventure aboard a galleon, eighteen-year-old Giselle is marooned on a tropical island.

As she begins to uncover remnants of an ancient civilisation, she learns that she has travelled to a parallel world and that the island was veiled four hundred years ago to prevent an ancient evil from escaping.

As the mystery of the islands history unfolds, Giselle is drawn into a desperate quest for a key that will enable safe passage home aboard the galleon, before it is used to unleash death and destruction throughout time and space.

About the Author

Having admired works of time travel and parallel worlds since a young age, T. D. Kuchel brilliantly captures the essence of reality with his fictional tales. Though, also partial to drama and a worthy love story, his tales flicker with romance and suspense.

A keen traveller, T. D. Kuchel longs for adventure and strives to write first-hand of locations around the globe. The plot for his debut novel, The Passage of Conquest, was conceived whilst sailing the Whitsunday Islands.

Between exploits, he resides in The Barossa Valley, where he enjoys quality time with his family, the local splendour of food and wine and writing in his home library.

Who is Bill Jackson?

A historical Australian fiction.

A young woman sets out to write something about her family history.

She wants to start with the story of her late Grandfather, but her Italian Grandmother persuades her to research the origins of his German Father first.

This leads her in unexpected directions as a misty person she hardly knew existed becomes real and fills the stage. While events of the 1900s era of Australian history, quite new to her, open up.

About the Author

Growing up in outer suburban Melbourne, (Australia), Kelvin Smibert finished schooling with an interest in the sciences. Worked for a large manufacturing chemist while studying Chemistry at night at RMIT.  He spent 4 years of Wartime in the Navy, mostly as a Naval Beach Commando.

Returning to workplace politics was difficult. He enrolled at Melbourne University to do Electrical Engineering…But the urge to ‘Escape to the country’ was too strong. After 2 years he took up a Soldier Settlement block. During the 35 years there, he and his wife Nora spent a total of about 18 months spread over 5 years, 1973-1978, living in Iran. For which country they retain great affection. On one occasion flying from Australia to Tehran with a load of cattle.

‘Retired’ to Mount Gambier, South Australia in 1988. Nora continued with volunteer work and sport. While Kelvin formalised his Art hobby with a Certificate of Art. Which led to years of making 3D replicas of ancient Aboriginal ‘Rock Art’. The largest piece now in a New Delhi museum. Concurrently, he built a factory to make quality artists paper for local and export markets.

Both these projects led to travel, study and symposia in Europe and India.

Many years on the committee or board of various local organisations. Writing is a therapeutic old- age occupation.

The couple have five children and many Grand, and G-Grandchildren.

I’ll Give it One Week

Did you know that your body is always talking to you, and you have the innate ability to find freedom from pain and suffering?

The messages are always there, we just don’t often pay attention to what they’re saying. When was the last time you sat silently and listened to what your body was really trying to tell you, before grasping for a pain killer or quick fix solution.

In her younger years Emma struggled with severe mental illness and was being treated for depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks and suicidal ideation. Struggles so severe that Emma even attempted to end her own life. Then Emma’s life took an even more dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with a degenerative spinal condition which in addition to leaving her mostly bedridden with limited mobility, led to her suffering from chronic pain for much of her 20s.

I’ll Give it One Week! is a intimate account of Emma’s personal journey and also a step by step program that you can follow to kick-start a new journey too. This book and program is suitable and recommended for anyone wanting to make positive changes, go inward and work on themselves, to discover not only their true self but the limitless potential to self-heal.
