Author reveals secret of success

 

 

thumbnail Threads of Gold cover-402Over 50 people attended local author Judy Tindill’s book launch held at Parkview Waters Horizons Club, Mangawhai on Thursday September 18.

Writing under the pen name Jude Thomas, Threads of Gold is Judy’s second historical novel. It continues the story of an infant girl found on an icy Dunedin track in the mid-1800s. Brought up in the notorious back streets, the protagonist becomes a young entrepreneur ahead of her time, and a woman not to be trifled with.

Threads of Gold is set at the turn of 20th century New Zealand, against a backdrop of significant political and social changes.

“As a child I was always fascinated about family secrets, and finally started to do some real research,” says Judy, who was born and raised in Dunedin.

“I prefer to write about lesser-known information – what we didn’t learn in history class! The Gold Series is the perfect forum.”

Threads of Gold is available nationally now from independent booksellers, along with a reprint of prequel, Southern Gold.
