Hi! I'm Alison Stuart and my passion is history... it has been for as long as I remember. I write the books that I like to read - exciting adventures with a strong love story or, more recently, historical murder mysteries featuring my feisty protagonist, Harriet Gordon (writing as A.M. Stuart).
My books cover a variety of periods of history from the English Civil War, a flirtation with the regency, Australian history, colonial Edwardian and post World War One. Don't be surprised if I also throw in a touch of paranormal or time travel for good measure... The thing is, my stories don't always fit neat labels!

LIFE IN THE TIME OF COVID...
While writers have been practising social isolation for years, many of you are struggling and it is fascinating to see people turning back to old fashioned entertainment such as jigsaw puzzles.
So here is a bit of fun while we all bunker down. Every Sunday afternoon (AEST) I will post up an online jigsaw puzzle featuring one of my book covers. Bearing mind I have 12 book covers, this should see us through to return to normality (whatever that will look like).

COVER REVEAL - THE GOLDMINER'S SISTER
Gold is a fever. Will it lead her to love ... or death? A suspenseful romance set on the turbulent goldfields of 1870s Australia, for readers of The Postmistress and The Woman in the Green Dress.
'There are people in this town with the gleam of gold in their eyes and cold steel in their hearts.'
1873. Eliza Penrose arrives in the gold mining town of Maiden's Creek in search of her brother, planning to make a new life for herself. Instead she finds a tragic mystery - and hints of betrayals by those closest to her.
Mining engineer Alec McLeod left Scotland to escape the memory of his dead wife and child. Despite the best efforts of the eligible ladies of Maiden's Creek, Alec is determined never to give his heart again.
As lies and deceit threaten Eliza's life, Alec steps in - although he has problems of his own, as he risks his livelihood and those he holds dear to oppose the dangerous work practices at the Maiden's Creek Mine.
When disaster draws the pieces of the puzzle together, Eliza and Alec must save each other - but is it too late?
