| They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But the first few pages of a novel give you so much more. They paint those thousand words right before your eyes. They reveal what the characters are thinking...what their goals are... their motives... and leave you wondering about their future. As a graphic artist, I paint all of those words on the pages of my books. | |||||||||||
Be prepared for an exciting adventure!

Signed Sealed DeliveredMegan Trevallyn, a young English governess, stands accused of a heinous crime. An added trauma is a fraudulent report which breaks her heart. Duplicity by those of the household, who stand to gain most by her transportation to a harsh penal colony in Australia, appears to determine the course of her tempestuous life. And stripped of everything, except her faith, upon her arrival she faces a daunting challenge. Will this be a land of promise...or perdition?
Book I of the Watermark Women Trilogy introduces those whose lives entwine with Megan's destiny. Cornelia Cantrell, the scheming mistress of the Mayfair mansion. Captain Charles Cantrell, her love. Lieutenant John Stafford, her nemesis. Ezra Montefiore, an ardent suitor. And her Christian mentor, Caroline Chisholm, the bane of all who practice excessive adherence to rules and regulations in the new colony.

Wendy Sargeant, Queensland Society of Editors “From the ‘toffs’ of 19th century England to the felons, selectors, dandies, and bushrangers of colonial Australia, Rita’s feisty heroine takes us on an intriguing romantic adventure as she searches for truth and the love she has lost. And all the while we weep for Megan’s indignities and rejoice in the triumph of her faith!” http://www.aussiewriters.blogspot.com |

Fire in the Rock
Rita's Debut Novel Published by Arkhouse Press
An inspirational historical romantic intrigue...
At the turn of the twentieth century, Australia, in a spirit of growing independence shrugs off many of its ties with the "Old Country". Some class distictions linger, boundaries between men and women are still clearly defined and social conventions strict, but with common decency and good manners valued highly, people act kindly toward each other. In this setting a well-meant deception finds a young woman involved in a desperate search to unearth crucial information, for the truth—preserved by its wary keepers—lies buried in the opal fields on the fringe of the vast and thirsty Outback. Realizing her future depends on the choice between two rivals of diverse faiths, she hesitates in the belief that those she cares for most, always seem to be taken from her. But when it finally appears she has lost everything, she discovers that true love, like faith, does not depend on feelings alone. Be prepared for some adventure and intrigue.

Alive in the Spirit Author Gene L. Jeffries Th.D., Professor of Systematic Theology, Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia, U.S.A. A gifted author, Rita and her husband joined me as we ministered together throughout Australia, the U.S. and the South Pacific. I have been privileged to read several of her novels while in manuscript form. Her stories are exciting and mysterious, and I most heartily look forward to the published form of this next work which I believe will be received eagerly by the Christian public."

Les Nixon, Australian Outback Patrol Padre "I thought I knew about White Cliffs and Strathfield and Balmain, but novelist Rita Galieh coaxed me from the present to back before my time. Not only does she make me see the things she sees, she makes me feel the things she feels. And the most poignant part is the agony in the faded letters from Pitt Town in 1800. I also thought I knew about R.A. Torrey, but Rita's revelation about the American evangelist who is now a part of Australia's history pulled me back a hundred years! The story line has a surprise turn on every page to the end, for there's a lot more going on than what just seems. My, what a riveting yarn! |
In Progress...
Romantic Intrigue Genre
The Strange Saga of Kelly's Castle
"Infatuation may seem more exciting than steadfast love, but eventually it feeds on itself until nothing remains." There are two distinct settings in this novel. 19th century sophisticated London Society & the backwash Colonial Straits Settlements of Malaysia. In this novel a young woman must quickly discover the fine line that exists between hypocrisy and heroism.
An Inconvenient State of Affairs
Man. Girl. Temptation. Redemption.
1895: As members of a covert Outback Australian expedition in search of a creature once thought extinct, heartbroken Boston professor Dr Garrett Steele and feisty Carlysle Forbes, reporter of the prestigious San Francisco Gazette, are thrust to the limits of their endurance by miscalculations, accidents, and betrayal by a rogue team member. Can such physical danger transform their distrust to devotion and kindle wariness into willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice?
