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.

Memories of a Childhood on an Australian Rural Property

This book is a warm and amusing account of the author’s experiences in the 1970s and early ‘80s as she grew up on a rural property (Yarraglen) in Central West NSW. In these recollections, the author captures the charm and innocence of her rural childhood. The memoir has a fresh and witty voice. It provides the reader with an engaging snapshot of the resourcefulness, stoicism and pragmatism of Australian farmers. This book will resonate with readers who are interested in the minutiae and character of rural life in a period that was uncomplicated by screens, social media, and over-mechanisation.

The Girl From Ireland

After one year he came to this city, he was hospitalised with chest pain. The doctor who treated him believed it was a stroke and was muddled that strokes are not possible at this age. He then decided to change things around and to focus on his life, as he mentioned.

“She is everything to me and I would do anything to put a smile on her face. However, if something happens to me, she will never come to know. The sufferings will only occur to my family and it is not their fault that I failed.”

This book is about a guy who starts a ‘social media’ relationship and his willing to meet a girl in person. What are the reasons, facts and mistakes behind the actions of these two people from different worlds. Remember: actions speak louder than words. I hope the readers can relate to the story and can learn a important lesson from it. Read on…
