The Baringup Dynasty and Pearl of the Rising Sun by Bruce Cooke

For those who are about to start a writing career I would like to pass on some advice that I have discovered after many failures and a few triumphs. I have nineteen books published with five publishers, but most are with Desert Breeze and Eternal press. 

No one wants to read about goodie goodie heroes, they want to read about characters. People all have flaws including me, so I have found its best to write about people who have faced the problems of life in one way or the other. Never make your hero flawless.  Two of my books are with both Desert Breeze and Eternal Press.

The Baringup Dynasty

 The Desert Breeze book is titled The Baringup Dynasty and has received excellent reviews. It's a saga of two people during the early part of the twentieth century.  Danny Stevens has faced the horrors of Gallipoli, lost his best friend, lost his family and lost his lover.  He heads to outback Australia to find peace and contentment. Jonathon Bailey escaped from an orphanage with his brothers after his parents die.  He finds himself in the outback where he begins to build a large sheep and cattle station.

When they meet they join forces to fight some criminals who have taken someone who is dear to them both. Robbie Bailey, Jonathon's daughter and Danny's hope of a future is faced with death and her only hope is for both Danny and Jonathon to save her.
