... for Elaine Ouston's new book Restoring Destiny.

Award winning author, Aleesah Darlison says: 'Impeccable from the first page, Restoring Destiny is a deftly written high fantasy adventure novel.

The characters are strong, fierce, and relatable and the story is packed with action and surprises.

Get set for a remarkable ride!'

Aleesah Darlison, award-winning author.

And author, Gayle Torrens says:
​
'I recently got a copy of this book for my grandson, but I made the mistake of reading the first chapter to see if I thought he’d like it. That was it. The book never left my hands until I finished it.
 
This is a great fantasy story; well-written and saturated with enough excitement to keep the reader enthralled throughout.
 
The characters are beautifully developed, and I was drawn to them immediately. The male character, Rais is brave, selfless, and ingenious and will appeal to the young male readers and his sister Kanda is loyal, feisty, and indomitable and I’m sure young female readers will quickly bond with her.
 
The plot is exciting and unpredictable and there are just enough teasers offered throughout the novel to keep the reader turning pages.
 
A great YA novel that would make a welcome Christmas present for any young bookworm.

Today is the official launch of Clancy Tucker's new book Irish Gold:  another riveting read from Clancy.
 
Here is what Clancy had to say about it.

'This is like all of my books; different to the last one. This is historical fiction about the goldfields in Australia in the 1850's. It's about the involvement of the Irish, and others, who played a major part on the goldfields.
  
ORIGINS OF THIS BOOK:
The gold rush has always been my favourite period in Australian history. So, why not write about it? The story is centred on the Irish, who played a major role on the goldfields. But, I've thrown a few bushrangers in as well to spice it up a bit. Bushrangers have also played a great part in our history, and I guess you have all heard of one infamous guy named Ned Kelly. However, not all of them were crooks and bad men, as this book will highlight.
 
HERE IS THE BLURB:
Pat Toomey’s violent father dies, leaving Pat, his mother and four sisters in the Port Phillip District of Australia during the 1850’s gold rush. Pat and best friend, Seamus, are offered a job by Irishman, Michael Macevoy; to transport supplies to miners in Ballarat. They take the job, and Macevoy becomes a regular caller at the Toomey’s home. The boys meet many people who know their boss, and it intrigues them. They also save a Chinese family from a dangerous bushranger, Jack Lawrie, and meet another wanted bushranger, Martin Riley –  Michael Macevoy’s best mate.
 
Jack Lawrie escapes and seeks revenge, surprising the boys one evening, but Martin Riley appears from the dark and seriously maims Lawrie. Whilst transporting Lawrie to Castlemaine, troopers appear, notice Riley, and a chase ensues. Shots are fired and Riley is injured, but Seamus mounts Riley’s horse and rides away. Lawrie and Pat are in custody, a trooper has been shot, and Riley is still free, but Michael Macevoy arrives and Pat is released. That night, Martin Riley dies.
 
The boys deliver a shattered Macevoy to Pat’s mother’s home, and they step up to run Macevoy’s Transport when Michael enters a period of deep depression. The boys work hard, employ staff, and expand the business to the Bendigo goldfields. Will Michael Macevoy overcome his depression? Why does Michael know so many people? 
  
ISSUES INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK:
 Irish, bushrangers, crime, goldfields, troopers, law and order, life on the goldfields, women during the gold rush, sly-grog shops, Ballarat, Bendigo, Port Phillip District, loyalty, friendships, mateship, Chinese influence,  police ... And also a touch of romance throughout the book.

Award winning author Clancy Tucker collects great reviews like other authors collect rejection slips. He must be doing something right!! Check out these two great reviews for his latest book, Bold Journey, they will tell you all.

Bold Journey by Clancy Tucker (Clancy Tucker Publishing)
PB RRP $15.00 plus $3.00 for postage Australia
ISBN 9780994601025

Reviewed by Anastasia Gonis

The story begins in 1954, when the Agnelli family set out for Australia on an Assisted Migrant Scheme. The positives and negatives of their decision are cleverly woven into a delicate and moving story of migration, with themes of friendship, family, bullying, and the huge impact the kindness and generosity of strangers can have on people’s lives.

Cat Ginelli and ‘Fozzie’ Agnelli have been friends since childhood after meeting on the ship. Their years of friendship, togetherness, learning, discovery, and shared grief, is slowly transformed into something powerful, but unspoken. While life leads them along different and distant paths as they grow, the emotional ties between them remain unbroken.

Will they finally come together at the official function put on by Amnesty International, or will the story of their life together end due to those words unspoken?

The struggles and challenges the Agnelli family face are the struggles of every migrant family of the post-war years. The courage and determination of they have to adapt and succeed reflect the characteristics of migrants of that era, and many of those of today.

Through his work, Clancy again seizes the opportunity to bring into focus, issues that he is passionate about. He addresses the humanitarian need of countries ravaged by war and poverty, with the intention that it will ‘stir the conscience’ of his readers, and the world in general. He makes reference to the Vietnam and Korean wars and their futility in a significant way.

This is an interesting and well-constructed novel which is historically valuable, in that it reflects on the how and why, Europeans left their homelands for a better life, what they found, and what they did with what they had.

Clancy Tucker has created lovable characters and moving scenes. He has presented a wide view of migrant life. All this is folded into a story of love, hope and sacrifice. Suited for ages 8-80, it also shows the multi-faceted lives of post-war Australians through dialogue, varying voices and points of view.

5.0 out of 5 stars
 I LOVED IT! 5 May 2017
By Vicki CASE – Published on Amazon.com

When you pick up a Clancy Tucker book you can be rest assured you will not be disappointed. Bold Journey is no exception – yet another Clancy heart string tugger for sure.

Bold Journey is a story of two Italian families who individually make a decision to migrate to a foreign land (Australia) so their children can have a better life. In doing so, the AGNELLI & GINELLI families have to leave their family & friends behind & sail to the unknown. Despite the distance however, they never forget or lose contact with their families, their heritage or their culture.

En route to Australia, aboard the Achille Lauro, children; Fausto AGNELLI forges a life-long friendship with Caterina GINELLI. The two share so many great times & adventures together until one day their lives have to take an individual road, a road to their chosen careers. Fausto wants to be a journalist, whilst Caterina wants to pursue nursing. Little did they realise, that their careers would bring them together again & again, however not in the circumstances they would prefer.

Years later, they are both nominated for individual international awards for their respective work. Will they again be united, or not?

Bold Journey is another brilliant literary work by Australia’s multi award-winning author – Clancy Tucker. Each of his books are different; yet each contains an ethical moral that will bring you to tears.

I loved this book from beginning to end & I know you will too. I highly recommend Bold Journey, regardless of your age. It’s a beautiful journey that will leave you wanting more – Cat & Fozzie’s journey. I pray there is a sequel.

Today, Dr Judith O'Malley-Ford, author of The Secret Stalker of the Prostate, has a very informative article on the subject of prostate cancer on findatopdoc.com the link is below, but here is the start of the article.

New Technology for Men's Health.

The 21st century is well upon us, and the scientific and health landscape is rapidly changing, yet there are still new horizons to conquer. The final frontier does not lie in a distant galaxy. It is much closer to home. Look no further than the place where men fear to tread: Men’s Health.
​
The prostate gland, which rarely sees the light of day, is suddenly in the spotlight and cancer is the focus. Prostate cancer is not just a disease of men, but a disease of couples, especially when issues of manhood and masculinity are at stake. Surgery for prostate cancer may result in erectile problems and urinary incontinence. These make up the very fabric that constitutes masculinity, wherein lies the reluctance to contemplate prostate screening.
Can men learn to address this difficult topic, or are they too often reluctant to discuss it until it is too late?

Judith O'Malley-Ford
Judith is a full-time GP, award-winning author, and recently published author of book on prostate cancer entitled "The Secret Stalker of the Prostate". She is a former editor of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia monthly magazine, and a committee member of the Asthma Foundation. She has a Master of Public Health and is a fellow and examiner of the RACGP.
