    About this ebook

    "A Saga of Australian heritage... almost lost in history."

    A friend, given the opportunity to read the author's finished manuscript, innocently commented: ‘The veracity of your story seems to fit between possible and probable. But, by its very nature, will always be highly controversial.’

    It’s up to you to decide.

    Reading this work you will come to realise it is a work of "faction" and that it is not about Ned Kelly but, rather, his one true love; an amazing Irish girl who likewise loved Ned dearly — their son, Niall Kelly — and the man who subsequently helped to raise Niall. This story is also a tribute to those whose altruism kept this story a secret for so long.

    The author suspects history readers will assert that his story is ‘a highly idiosyncratic approach to accepted evidence’. One likely problem for historians, however, is that his story relates in part to an era when very little is either recorded or is indeed known about Ned’s whereabouts and his activities. Conjecture probably ran rife during that period, but he, nevertheless, relied heavily upon the spoken word of his late father as evidence of a brief but amazing romance during this little known ‘grey period in Ned’s otherwise robust life’. However, any such undeserving criticism of the accounting of this tale should not be advanced too hastily, certainly not without first disproving Orla’s existence.

    Author

    Trevor Tucker

    Trevor Tucker retired in 2005 from the oil and gas industry and although his first interest in writing was from a technical perspective, it soon evolved to ‘faction’. The author adds: ‘Though having been bitten by the writing bug, I sometimes wonder if I have retired.’ A chance meeting with a man who saved his life, soon revealed a history that needed to be rewritten; Trevor took it as his responsibility to share a story related to his father. Ned Kelly’s Son is the author’s first novel and his interests in Australian history, bushwalking, and exploring his homeland, reflect with passion throughout the book. With believable characters and a reliance on recorded history, he implants a strong probability of something neglected or overlooked in previous records about Australia’s most notorious bushranger, Ned Kelly. Trevor’s other interests include spending time with his kids and grandkids, writing, fishing, reading, bike riding, Test cricket, AFL football, and power flow yoga. Future works include another novel of Australian history and an anecdotal short story collection.
