About the Book

In times of economic hardship, peoples of any nation will immigrate to better their lot in life. But nothing in history has ever matched the number and scope of those who stepped into the unknown by leaving everything behind in the hopes of 'striking it rich' once gold was discovered in the Klondike region of the Yukon Territory in western Canada.
Though the gold deposits were discovered in 1896, word of the extraordinary find didn't reach the world until the following spring of 1897, when the first millionaire miners and their bullion reached the cities of Seattle and San Francisco by steamer from the new boom town of Dawson City.
'GOLD FEVER' and everything that connotation suggests was sparked across the entire world by this arrival, causing literally tens of thousands to leave their homes, jobs, and loved ones behind to journey into the untamed wilderness of the north. They came from virtually every continent; some for the sheer exciting adventure of it, others as a last-ditch effort to find fame and fortune.
The great thing about the historical record, is that we know many of the people and events that transpired during this raucous time. However, we can only guess at what the conversations were, or what personal actions precipitated the event. This is where the writer comes in; to entertain with speculation, by filling in the blanks with a possible scenario, and I hope I've provided that.
This is fictitious story, inspired by actual characters and events that took place during this unprecedented period of unbridled struggle, greed, entrepreneurship, and adventure, where relationships were built and shattered by the very nature of the human species.
The series is an odyssey about the change humans will make in their character when they are isolated from civilization's constraints. Set within true events that took place in the wilderness of the Yukon beginning in 1896, it explores how the human condition is affected by compulsion and greed when left unchecked by what most consider normal restrictions.
We will follow the three main characters as they make their way to the new boom town of Dawson City, where their lives will be intertwined for all time, and watch as their relationships and personalities are changed forever by the fever, the gold, and each other.
Come with us and be drawn in by the vibrant dialect of the times, as you are immersed in a wonderous days that will never be repeated.
This is the first book in the series: 'The Gold'.
The second book 'Overland to Dawson' should be released late July 2023.
