Produktbeschreibung
A somewhat jaded teacher is posted to a one teacher rural school, high up in the mountains in Victoria, Australia. Douglasville was originally a gold mining town and then became a timber town. A series of events have seen the population drop and the school nearly close. The teacher tries to revive the community and also his career. In doing so, he discovers that there is a deep rift within the town that was exacerbated by the deaths of two men within a week. These men were from two of the main families who control the town. From the jungles of Vietnam to the forests of Victoria, clues emerge that unravel the mysteriously linked deaths. This book contains many of the strange and often humorous things that many rural school teachers have come across in their small schools.

I am a former primary teacher and principal, landscape designer and gardener and now a full time author living in Gippsland in the state of Victoria in Australia. Although I write mainly fictional novels, I regularly contribute to political blogs and have letters regularly published in local and Victorian newspapers. I write parodies of songs and am in the process of writing music for the large number of poems that I have written.
