description of my books

Hi, I am an Australian author who has had hands on experiences in most books I have written Bernado’s Circus is different. I was laid up for a long time with a very badly fractured leg some years ago. To pass the time I watched many documentaries on pay TV on World War 2 and the Nazi atrocities against many minority groups. I have a memory like an elephant. I never forget. Something to do with my Scottish heritage. We never forget who did us wrong, even after four hundred years. I worked part time in the opal industry and have met some very different characters Some of these people would steal the pennies off a dead man’s eyes. I am looking for a distributor for my books. I do have some very interesting stories with quite unique slants on many scenes and subjects. My titles are listed below and are available on Ingram and Amazon James


G’Day I am an Australian author, inventor, farmer, opal miner and property developer amongst other things. I have four books in my stable at present and am desperately looking for sales.
My titles are

The next-door farm has two old characters who have been to Coober Pedy and found some good opal and have paid off the bank. John and Tony accompany them to Coober Pedy where they drill up some very good opal. They take the old farm dozer to dig out the claim and find millions of dollars in opal, including four large black opalized dinosaur eggs worth over a million dollars each. The town thieves set about trying to steal these and the large stash of cash in the old safe. Sixty different nationalities work at Coober Pedy. Some of these people do not know the meaning of honesty
