I moved to the Isle of Mann just over five years ago, having lived in different countries throughout the world for more than twenty years.

The ancient Manx capital of Peel captured my imagination as I wandered through the old, narrow streets and slowly I found myself wondering about the lives of the people who used to live in the quaint little back street cottages.

Gradually, my characters came to life and soon I was engrossed by the type of lives they might have lived a hundred and fifty years ago. My tale was nearing its final chapters when I discovered that there were indeed real life events which reflected my story - particularly regarding Manx ships which set sail for Australia where crew members went in search of their fortune.

I hope that my story will give Manx children a sense of life in Victorian times and a glimpse of the island's fishing heritage.
