I am Captain Thunderbolt
I am super excited to tell you my second historical novel is soon to be released.
I am Captain Thunderbolt - An amazing story of Fred Ward, alias Captain Thunderbolt, as told by Fred himself.
Many years of research and painstaking effort have been poured into this account which allowed me to get the story historically correct.
As in my first novel, Too Young to Hold a Gun, this too has been written in the form of a historical fiction. This allows me to portray the man's character and show my readers what he may have been like.
What made Fred Ward do what he did?
What motivated him?
Was he your typical bushranger?
Was he a family man?
Was he really married to Mary Ann Bugg?
Was he really as polite to the women he bailed up as the legend suggests?
Was he the Robinhood of the day?
Why was Thunderbolt Australia's longest reigning bushranger?
Why was he said to be Australia's most successful bushranger?
Who was Fred Ward the man?
Did he really escape Australia and travel to Canada and live to an old age?
Who was the man buried at Uralla?
All these questions and more will be answered.
I am Captain Thunderbolt will rewrite much of what you thought you knew.
I am Captain Thunderbolt will be hitting the shelves mid 2025, be sure to grab a copy.
