How much is Tuppence?
It's two pence (English currency). Josh was told he was not worth that much. But why?
Every vehicle had to pay a toll.

I write Australian convict stories. It's amusing, yet nice, when people who receive my newsletters submit their convict ancestors for inclusion in my stories. They need to fit in with the story and locality, but I include them if I can. sarapowter.com.au

How to catch the audience's attention... Dress up as a convict. I write Australian Colonial Fiction.

They are Australian Historical Fiction with a love story, but not quite sure why they are in Romance.

3 years ago, on our trip to Queensland, we had been listening to "The Seekers." I said, "Wouldn't it be great if someone would write a story using some of the Seekers' songs, as there is a great story that could be told using these?" Hubby turned to me and said, "Do it!"

"The Saddler's Song" will soon be a melody of delight. How can a saddler and a musical tanner work when there are few cows for leather? Kangaroos! mybook.to/TheSaddlersS...
