Your Sins Will Seek You Out

A Novel Based On True Events

Barry Keating’s cunning and violent nature manifested from his first childhood contact with other children.

John and Ruth Keating adopted Barry from birth.

John Keating, a community person, is also a career policeperson involved in numerous crime and traffic incidents as he advanced through the ranks. His involvement with the public and criminals outlines his quick reactions to planning and delegating. Undiagnosed PTSD haunts him throughout his career and his life.

Barry’s violent responses are often easily given; he rarely takes them.

His continuance with violence against both men and women maintains his rage while committing terrible crimes. Even after finding love and domestic commitment, his urges cannot be denied, and they take control.

Follow these real-life events, where only the names and locations are changed.

A Dragon’s Flame

 

Is there more than one way to fulfil your duty?

As a proud darkness dragon, there are not many things that can vanquish me or my pride. I, Nightly, darkness dragon to Connie Whitsburg, am not to be trifled with. I am a lethal being that is a protector to my whisperer above all else. At least, that’s what I kept telling myself until a rogue whisperer and his fire dragon made themselves known to us and the Mystic Realm.

It wasn’t too long after our battle with the mage, Edgar, and the witch, Gini, that the rogue whisperer and dragon made their appearance, and it wasn’t a coincidence. Connie found out that she was with child after the battle. With the expectancy of the child, she became a greater target to our enemies.

The rogue whisperer is strategic, powerful, and unashamed to murder to obtain his desires. He commands a collection of rogue mages and has access ancient knowledge and power. Worst of all, he turns dragons into humans and has his dragon eat them.

If we don’t stop this mad man and his dragon, no dragon or whisperer will be safe, including me, Connie, and her child.

Are there more ways than one to fulfil your duty?

Freddie

 

Taken From A String Of Golden Threads

Freddie is a poignant tale set in early 20th century rural Australia, capturing the life of a boy born into a family expecting a girl. Delicate and beautiful, Freddie stood out from his two older brothers, not just for his appearance but for the silent struggles he would come to face. Growing up at a time when society held rigid views on gender and sexuality, Freddie navigates life in a close-minded community, where his differences are met with confusion, judgment, and silence.
 
Written by Greta Lily Finn in the 1970s, Freddie was never published during her lifetime. The manuscript, tucked away in a drawer, was discovered by her granddaughter years after Finn’s death. Honoring her grandmother’s legacy, she brought Freddie’s story to light, offering readers a heart-wrenching journey through the eyes of a man shaped by societal norms that offered little room for love or understanding.
 
The novel opens with an older Freddie, disheveled and homeless, barely scraping by. His fragile existence belies a life of resilience and quiet defiance. Freddie is a powerful narrative of identity, isolation, and survival, set against the backdrop of a world unwilling to accept difference.

A Note From The Publisher

GRETA LILY FINN, affectionately known as Lil and orphaned at the tender age of six, was a compassionate, open-minded, resourceful and talented woman. Raised by her grandmother in Orange, NSW, Lil possessed the gift of storytelling, something inherited from her estranged father.
Lil had seven children, who filled her heart with love and purpose, but only after they left home did she turn her hand to writing, and the idea of the ‘Freddie Story’ was born.
 
Lil’s children, including my mother, knew about the ‘Freddie Story’, but surprisingly none of them felt inclined to read it.
During the Covid lockdown of 2020, I decided to transcribe her elegantly handwritten pages to give them the new life that they deserved. I was determined to share it with you all.
 
I want to acknowledge my Aunty Jenny, who lovingly preserved the manuscript and introduced me to the treasures it held within. I am forever grateful for her ongoing support, kindness and unwavering love throughout this journey.
 
My deepest appreciation to my cousin Ian Brown, my advisor, editor and biggest supporter since the idea first came to light.

Through her training, Red is forced to confront her past of abuse and neglect, suffering through the unresolved anger and pain that it brings her. But Red comes to see a glimmer of hope among it all – the feeling of love and belonging that flourishes as she and Ace grow closer, bonding over their shared powers of supernatural proportion.

When devastating news from her past comes to light, Red has to choose between overcoming her anger or tearing everything down with her.

This Debut Novel by Candice Joargenson is a story of suicide and self-harm, of a girl abused and ignored by the system, of finding hope within the hopeless.
