Gems, Love, Artists and a Golden Lion. Australia and South Africa 1880-1902. Jeweller, Jonty Evans' passion for gems takes him to Africa at a volatile time. He finds the diamonds he' s looking for and gets given a lion cub. Jonty is held, hostage. His experiences in the Transvaal plunge him into questioning everything he knows of life. Soon nightmares haunt him. On return home, he nearly messes up his love life before it even starts and he struggles to settle. It is his wife' s father, Luke Lockley from Parramatta, who takes him in hand and points him to some who can help. He' s recalled to Africa as a liaison and reconnects with his lion, Chimbu when he saves the life of his security detail. His life journey introduces him to the most amazing Heidelberg artists, politicians, poets, rebels, and the scapegoat soldier Harry Morant. Can Jonty bury past and regain the peace he' s lost?
Sara Powter was born on the NSW Central Coast. Her childhood was spent with her parents, mainly travelling up and down the East Coast of Australia, fishing, shell collecting and doing some of her education by Correspondence Schooling. With a passion for science, she worked for the Department of Agriculture as a Scientific Assistant in the Entomology Department. She married Stephen soon after leaving there, and they spent 30 years in Ministry in the Newcastle Anglican Diocese in NSW, only retiring at the end of 2020. When ' Covid 19' hit, time was available to pen some of the stories she' d wanted to write for some time. Within twelve months, eight stories were finished, and ideas for more were on the way. These stem from her passion for Colonial Australia, her convict Ancestors, and the amazing country' s remarkable history! Sara wrote these as she wished to complete her mother' s unfinished manuscript.
