‘So what…’ Mimi said, ‘I’m only 20. Mama was 19 when she had me. It’s not as if you are too young. Have you really never held a little baby in your arms and wished it was yours?’
‘God, no…! Why would I want to have a little baby? I want to be a singer.’
‘And that’s where the world comes to an end for Ilse Dijkstra, doesn’t it?’
‘Yes, to be honest …’
Singing was for a long time the very core of Ilse’s existence. Even as a toddler and her first years at school, Ilse liked listening to music and to sing along. Right from the start, it took charge of her emotional life and channelled it through the very highest and very lowest episodes for almost all of her life…
Ilse was only eight years old in 1942 when she and her Mama were put into a women’s Japanese Concentration camp in Indonesia. As was Ilse’s Papa in a men’s camp… Transported back to Holland with her family after the war, without any schooling after more than four years in a concentration camp, and coming to the end of her endurance, trying to keep up with her peers in her Fourth Year High, it was singing that saw Ilse through a massive nervous breakdown. Then, wishing to go to Louisville in America to try and become a professional singer when she was 20 years old, Ilse was told it would take at least a year to get a visa for America. So, while waiting, Ilse spent a joyful year singing and working as a nanny in France. Where, to her delight, for the first time in her life she sang with a professional band. However, it was also in France that Ilse learned to her sorrow that life wasn’t always what it appears to be. In America, singing her favourite country music and jazz, life was good, very good. Leading her gradually to the place she’d hoped for and wanted to be. Until once more, Ilse was propelled into the heartbreaking and ugly side of living, which drove Ilse back to Holland, fighting through the mud and slush of a mind-destroying depression. Then onto South Africa, and back to Holland, once more to America – Las Vegas…
Four years later, back to singing and slowly making a name for herself as a professional singer in Holland, Ilse was offered a position in Johannesburg, South Africa that she could not resist.
It was there that she met a man called Sergio Fagioli …

The authentic story of Edgar Britt OAM, Australia's original pioneering jockey who left his homeland in the midst of The Great Depression to seek fame and fortune in India, the United Kingdom and America. Now in his one hundred and second year he has been associated with the world of horse racing longer than anyone. His quiet modesty and great ability endeared him to the racing public wherever he rode. In a stellar career spanning over thirty years, in which he had over ten thousand rides, he was only suspended once and that was during his apprenticeship! When His Majesty King George VI was seeking a substitute jockey for the injured Harry Carr, Edgar became the King's Choice. He was selected in preference to any of his English contemporaries. The Queen bestowed on him the Order of Australia in 2003, following which he was inducted into Australia's Racing Hall of Fame in 2004 in recognition of his immense contribution to the sport of horse racing. He rode over two thousand winners including seven English Classics and an Irish Derby. He was champion jockey in India for eight of the ten years he rode there. His story, penned by his son-in-law, gives a fascinating insight into the lifestyle enjoyed by the Maharajahs of India coupled with the recovery of horse racing in the United Kingdom following World War Two. Rarely has Australia had a more noble ambassador for the sport of horse racing.

Communist Party Manifesto in 1848 is more relevant today than at that time. The number of communist countries has fallen from 15 in 1989 to only 4 today. However, communist parties are today part of a government in 12 countries; and communist parties exist in virtually every country in the world. In the novel RED NORFOLK, a small group of communists seek to overthrow the democratically-elected government by a carefully-planned coup against the government. The group is aware of historical precedents, most notably the Russian revolution of 1917 which, far from being a mass uprising against the government, was actually a coup led by dedicated militants.  The novel proposes that the Australian government decides to abolish cash. This assists the revolutionaries in achieving their goals. Nilson publisher David Robertson has already concluded that "the technology now exists for a paperless (without cash) society".  Whilst not wishing to alarm the reader of the prospect of militants taking over Australia, the author seeks to alert the reader to the possibility of such an event unless measures are taken by the authorities to prevent such a possibility.
