About the Author
The author has served in the military for many years. After taking discharge, he became a public servant.
When he first joined the army, he was not very well-educated and lacked a lot of social skills. The people he calls mates from the army, educated him and developed his social skills. For that, he will always be indebted to them.
Throughout his life, he has tried to learn from everyone he came into contact with. He believes every person has something of value to offer (After the army he would like to say—especially the lawn bowlers he ran into when playing the game!).
If life is a learning curve, then people he knows have been the best teachers. It may be simple things, but all worthwhile in the jungle of knowledge. He loves his country and never wants it to be destroyed. He will fight to his last breath for Australia and its people, no matter what.
If he sees something wrong, he will speak out.
CJ, his first draft editor. What can he say about a person that can transform his rough notes into a readable item? He loves working with him and finds that they click in a certain way; it is like CJ knows what the author is trying to say and fix it up.
Love to all his fellow Australians.
Dedication
This book is dedicated to my partner in life, Yvonne. She knew I could write, so she got me off my backside and encouraged me to do it.
I would like to say sorry for all the temper tantrums I had while writing the book. Yvonne calmed me down and encouraged me to continue, saying, “Don’t start something you will never finish.” As my Grade 7 schoolteacher once predicted, “One day you will do it.”
Thanks Yvonne and ‘Teach’. Love you both.

Foreword
Governments do many things they hope voters will never find out about. At times, some of these things (deals that are cut) have a bigger impact on the people than they realise.
Rebel Blood outlines a combination of these deals that have gone wrong.
This story is fictional but, as the old saying goes, ‘Truth is stranger than fiction.’ People, no matter who they are or what road they walk in life, are mindful that it’s not only governments who are wheeling and dealing. Every business does the same. It is the separation of bad deals from good deals that people want to become a reality.
Review from Kindle Publishing
I have now had the opportunity of reading and evaluating the material relating to Rebel Blood , which was a very impressive piece of work; impressive from a professional perspective and enjoyable from a personal one. It is as good a political adventure book as I have had the pleasure of reading in some considerable time.
Basically, your book has all of the qualities necessary for success in this genre. Crucially, the plot is excellent with enough twists, turns and red herrings to keep the reader interested and involved right up to the denouement which is unexpected yet wholly believable. The characters, too, are credible ‘real’ people who interact and behave in a way that makes reader identification very easy. Jillian is a particularly powerful yet gentle protagonist with whom it is very easy to empathise and I can envisage the reader identifying with her very strongly indeed. It is somewhat unusual to have a female as a central character in a book likes this but, because you succeed in his element admirably, it is something that will elevate the book over and above other in the same genre.
One of the book’s great strengths is its pace and this is largely due to the nature of your writing. Your style is perfect for the genre and the narrative rattles along at breakneck pace, never giving the reader the opportunity to rake breath, or, more importantly, get bored.
Also critical to the plot is the dialogue and here, once again, your books does not disappoint at all. Your dialogue is highly realistic and effective, so much so, in fact, that the reader must feel like a fly on the wall, observing and absorbing everything that takes place. In this respect the book is a very ‘visual’ one and would, therefore, be relatively easy to adapt as a film. It is well known that filmmakers now spend time looking for books that would adapt readily to the big screen and yours would seem to tick most of the boxes.
Your book has several advantages in terms publications; it is highly professional, in a very popular niche genre, expertly written and with the sort of content and narrative that could well result in it becoming quite a cult book and with it a significant ‘following’ for you personally. Interestingly, it also has tremendous televisual potential, and as I said, it is now well known that not only the major publishers but also television and filmmakers trawl the books looking for suitable material.
Chapter 1
2015 ACT Australia

A bitter wind in the nation’s capital suddenly added ferocity to the early morning temperature of minus 3 degrees. The lawns around the lodge, crisp and white, cracked underfoot as Marcus began his gardening rounds, tending to frost bitten roses and other plants that detested the cold. He knew he would lose many plants this year and his budget, already half spent, would be strained even further to replace them.
The Lodge was home to the Prime Minister and a showpiece to the rest of the world. Marcus liked the PM. She was sexy, the second ever female to make it in the male-dominated political world. He had served two previous leaders, including her father. Then, six months ago, Jillian grabbed power. Won the election. Unlike the other Prime Ministers, she was not a “yes” person, and often defied party aspirations; she listened to the people.
A white Commonwealth car with C1 plates slowed as it reached the pick-up point in front of the Lodge, from which Jillian emerged, wrapped in a large woollen coat. She made her way to the rear door of the white Ford LTD, already opened by her driver. After a muted greeting, he gently closed it and two Federal Police cars appeared from the side, taking up their positions, one in the lead, one behind. As the small motorcade moved off, Jillian went over the daily agenda papers her PA had handed her and was startled to see the Indigo Project among them. If there was a leak from Indigo, she knew she and her party would never govern again.
Over twenty years ago, her father had struck the Indigo Deal with the United States of America in exchange for party funding. That was the extent of her knowledge. Jillian was not sure she wanted to know more, but she was aware that their funds kept her and the party in power.
‘Do you prefer the rear or front entry?’ the driver asked, as they swung into the final two hundred metres of driveway leading to Parliament House.
Jillian’s eyes flashed to the front steps. There appeared to be no media snipers out gunning for “yes-no” replies to questions she was sometimes at a loss to answer. At her political induction, an instructor drum
