My Story

Inspired by the joy and intense satisfaction of writing my first five books—“Ned Kelly’s Son,” “The Stolen Maps… Australia’s Greatest Maritime Secret?,” “Aussie Anecdotes,” “A Sense of Justice,” and “God Only Knows”—and fuelled by their successful sales, I’ve just embarked on my sixth authorial adventure, Wonnangatta.

This novel reflects on multiple unsolved murders at, and nearby, to the remote Wonnangatta Station in NE Victoria, sometime between late 1917, and the end of 1918. Potential alternative lines of investigation emerge for both the Victorian and New South Wales police to pursue.

I have now formed the belief that writing is a most satisfying outlet for creativity… both challenging, and relaxing. However, writing is not just escapism, but rather the compulsion of a glorious illness, that which I call, The Dreamer’s Disease, i.e. that the more you give, the more you receive.

Book Reviews

Ned Kelly's Son

‘A riveting yarn.’ Eugenie Navarre. ‘Kelly family’ researcher, author, journalist and farmer. Queensland & NSW.

D Talbot, Australian historian and author

‘I spent the last few days reading your book; well done, I really enjoyed it and had trouble putting it down.’

R Brown - Sale

“Trevor I bought your book today; have to go to bed early tonight and get stuck into it. Couldn’t put the damn thing down. Enjoyed it greatly. Well worth the wait.’

 

Matthew Mc Clatchie.

A deft and nimble novel. It’s easy to get lost in this escapade which sets a gripping pace that will keep you guessing until the very end: what every writer wants, but rarely achieves.

I read Trevor’s first book, Ned Kelly’s Son, and whilst I have not been a prolific reader I found that I could not put it down and read it, for me, in record time. The Stolen Maps by Trevor equally tantalized me with its incredible and fascinating storyline. This book, with its surprising ending, signals the emergence of a believable and talented story teller and it is well worth the read even if you are not a history buff. If you think you have a reasonable knowledge about the discovery, history and colonising of Australia then you might like to think again and consider the contents of this book.
