Ghosts Gold and the Watchmaker

By E.M.G Wixley

Mary dreams of leaving behind the hardships and loneliness of her past. She starts afresh, running a bar in a remote Australian town, hoping for a new beginning. Yet, the town's residents, driven by fear and battling the harsh environment, face their own mental and physical struggles. Mary longs to return to England, but the fortune needed feels out of reach. Her luck seems to turn as her bar thrives-until the lure of a gold strike empties the town, leaving behind only old women and teetotallers. Her business teeters on the brink of collapse, forcing her into drastic action.

Thousands of miles away, in London, Johnny grapples with George's shocking revelation. Desperate for purpose, Johnny starts a cooperative in the East End, aiming to employ destitute immigrants. But as he challenges the city's elite, he finds himself entangled in the crime and corruption of Victorian society.

From the desolate outback of Australia to the shadowy alleys of London, "Ghosts of the Gold Rush" is a gripping tale of survival and redemption. Can Mary and Johnny overcome their pasts and navigate the deceptions and dangers of their worlds? Who will endure the secrets, lies, and devious dealings that threaten to destroy them?
Maybe read as a stand-alone.
