“Hello son, it is good to have you home again at last,” Mum said to me, as she wrapped me in a tight hug, “Steady on Mum I need to breath ya know,” I gasped out, and Mum laughed as she let go of me and took a step back to take a look at me, before grabbing my arm and dragging me towards the house, but I stopped and Mum lost her grip as she too stopped to see why I had stopped. “I have to unload my vehicle Mum, I have a car fridge with some snacks and drinks that needs to come in, along with

Once the newest clients had been inducted and settled into their rooms, I called for a staff meeting in the open lounge, so as to discuss what had happened this evening, and to come up with some plans to deal with this situation in the future. Eventually, it was decided that we would all think about it and discuss it some more in a few days’ time. Now with a total of eighteen clients staying in the project, we will be even busier, and there will now be two distinct classes, split on ages, wi

With Ezekias and Toby now relocated to the two larger rooms in the client accommodation, and Marcus and Liam decided to share a room, as they had become good friends over the past two weeks, everything was ready. One thing that had been overlooked in a way, is the amount of work it takes to clean up after the clients, ensuring that they do their laundry, clean their bathrooms, and keeping their rooms tidy, as well as keeping the rest of the complex clean and tidy. After lunch, while helping

After five years of university studies, I have finally graduated, and I was the top student in my year to top it off, which made my parents very proud of me, as I am the very first to break the family tradition of finishing school at the age of sixteen and heading home to the station to work. Instead, I completed my high school education, at the same Grammar School that my ancestors - five generations back have done, since the year the school moved to its current location, in the year 1901,

This story follows the life of Kipling F Ashburton, who is a 6th generation Western Australian, whose family have worked on the same cattle station since 1896. The story also follows Joshua Alliston, the son of Commander Trenton Blackthorn, who has commanded a number of large research submarines that patrol the world's oceans. After a family dispute, Joshua goes his own direction, having completed university with a degree in Marine Science, and he goes in search of a former Uni classmate, to convince him to join forces to set up a research project in the Indian Ocean.

“That is fine with me” Nathan replied, “Great I will go and break the news to them and send them down to you, while I get Carter settled into his room for a rest,” I said, as I gathered my plate and cutlery, and headed upstairs to the staff lounge, where I found the boys at the table, playing card games. I resumed my eating for a while, before I stopped and informed the boys of the plans for this afternoon, and without hesitation, Jonah agreed, but Giles was a little reluctant, but I assured

“Matthew, although we have closed for any new guests, we will have four special guests, who have just arrived in town, that will be staying with us, can you prepare 3 meals a day for them please, and once a villa is cleaned properly. I will be eating here also, so that will make it five people, and two of my personal staff will be arriving on Saturday, but they will be staying next door” I said to the chef. “Not a problem sir, I am happy to do that, is it possible to get a kitchen hand or c

The door was locked, so I rattled the door, to see if anyone was inside, and a woman appeared, and after a short frown, she smiled as she approached and unlocked the door. “Sir Lewis, I have just got off the phone with the manager of the accommodation, informing me of your arrival in Broome, please come in” the lady said. Once the door was closed and locked behind me, I was led to a large conference room, where there was a lot of files scattered over it. “My apologies for the mess, I am tr

“Cosa stai facendo qui? e terra private?” the man said in response, of which I only got part of what he said, which was something to do with private land. “Scusa non caisco” I replied, saying that I didn’t understand, “Eh, eh, eh! You go now, not be here” the man said in broken English, and with that I scooted around him and left the tower, and walked quickly towards the jetty. When I arrived, I saw a small boat moored on the other side of the jetty, and Sebastian was talking to another ma

No it is to clear up the mess I created by combining two stories together. When I recently worked out how to put the stories together in a series, I discovered that there was a huge gap between the story NB Huon, and New Life on the Swan. Which is the second book of Indian Ocean, so I have renamed the book, to NB Drama and made the chapters longer, to fill in the missing gap.

Yes but not the same character

“Hey guys, no doubt, you have heard about the mess that I have got into, and that I am no longer the Administrator of the Indian Ocean Territories of Australia. Sebastian, the twins and I, are going to be cruising the world’s oceans for a while, so we will not be in contact. I am fine and I am being well looked after, so please do not worry, I will contact you again, when things have quietened down a bit. Lewis”. Once I had sent the emails, I deleted my email account completely, and

Yes, that is why I added a comment to the start of the story. because it is part of the Indian Ocean series, as well as a continuing story fro the New Beginning Series.

Hi all, this is to try and correct the confusion that I have created. When I interlinked two stories, that being Indian Ocean Drama, with the New Beginnings Series, I have created a big confusing mess, so I am publishing these 5 chapters which follow after NB Huon and before Life on the Swan. If you have read most of my stories, you will recognise these chapters from the Indian Ocean Drama book. Quokka

This is the continuing story of Sebastian, the twins and Xander. Please note that this is the interlinking story with Indian Ocean Drama, and before New Life on the Swan.

It’s been a month since our wedding, which took place 3 months after that letter, Sebastian wrote to me, and the wedding was held in a beautiful old church in Liechtenstein, with the twins sharing the honour of best man, and Sebastian’s cousin – Xander being his ring bearer. For me, I had Kylie as my Best Women, and my nephew – Mitchell as my ring bearer. Sebastian’s three house staff, and his two friends, Reverend Annette Davies and her son – Kyle, were his only other wedding guests, whil

“Ok, we will give it a try, but if we want out, we want to be able to leave, without any interference,” Ezekias, one of the older boys stated, “good that we will agree to” Scott responded happily. “Ok, let me explain to you guys a few procedures that you will go through. Firstly, the Discovery project is supported by a board of trustees, so everything is on the level, both legally and financially, and the location is kept as low key as possible, to guarantee all young people are safe while stayi
