    About this ebook

    He's young and impressionable. She's crying. The train keeps going and life moves on.

    Logan Du Rose is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He shouldn't be in London and definitely not on a dirty underground train at that exact moment in time. It's the stuff of dreams which becomes the fodder for broken hearts and promises in a saga which stretches home to New Zealand.

    What would you do? Would you forget her? Witness the birth of a prophecy which will govern a family and ruin a life.

    Readers say, "This book gives you an insight into the man, making you wonder even more at the hero he becomes."

    There are 9 novels in the Hana Du Rose Mysteries. Dive in and lose yourself in beautiful Aotearoa, land of the long white cloud. Reading can't take away your problems, but it can offer you somewhere else to go for a while.

She's married to the man who sets the blueprint for all her fictional heroes and has four children who appear as characters from time to time.

      He’s dying, man! Have some decency! Logan Du Rose ran a hand through his dark hair and glared at the teenage boy sprawled on the bed.

      I only met him a few weeks ago. Why should I care about an uncle I don’t know? the teen replied, sneering at his younger brother’s irritation.

      Because you’re the oldest. And he paid for your flight here. Logan took a step back, almost falling over his own feet in the uncomfortable shoes. He swore and righted himself. His brother laughed.

      You look a dick in shoes, he said. Can’t walk in them, either.

      Nor can you! Logan retorted. His body felt weird, encased in the smart, unfamiliar clothes. The borrowed shoes were a size too big and tripped him if he didn’t watch his feet all the time.

      Get ready! The female voice pulled the boys from their dispute but its owner missed the rude gesture which the bigger boy delivered from his position on the bed. Logan eyed the neat jacket with disdain and opened his mouth to complain. Jacket! his mother snapped, pointing a work worn finger towards the chair it hugged.

      Logan exhaled with exaggerated effect, wasted on Miriam Du Rose. As he passed her, his jaw grew slack and he stared at her in surprise.

      Quit staring! she said, her voice wavering. But he couldn’t. He continued to search her face until she aimed a sharp slap to his left ear. He ducked, forcing her to miss and pointed towards her smooth olive chin.

      What happened? The innocence in his face made his mother’s cheeks flush with shame and embarrassment. She raised her fingers to her chin and then remembered her sister’s instructions. ‘Don’t touch it once it’s on or you’ll rub it off. Europeans don’t understand our customs. Women with facial tattoos get stared at. You’ve got enough to deal with, sister. Keep your moko covered with this cream until you’re home on Papatuanuku’s New Zealand again. Go well.’ Her sister kissed her forehead after issuing the warning and Miriam Du Rose shoved the cream into her flight bag and then forgot it.

      Michael sat up in the bed and pulled a face at his brother. What did you do, Ma? he asked. Where’s your moko? His brow knitted in concern.

      Miriam shrugged. Didn’t you see the pakeha on the train yesterday? she asked, the flush claiming her throat and neck as her anxiety hiked. "They stared at us like we were a freak show. I’m tired of it. Just a few more days and we’ll be free of this place. The Māori lineage on my face has no meaning for them. Sister warned me but I didn’t
