ABOUT
Series 1 – A Klondike Gold Miner’s Live
Series 2 – The New Americans
How did my writing begin?
Why would I write this story?
Who would I write about?
What would I write about?
What route did Nazaire and Raoul take?
When would my story take place?
Where did my research take me?
But that wasn’t the motivation
What did a Miner’s Outfit include?
The scenes came to me
