The story is a sequel to "The Four Elizabeths" and tells how the women convicts of the First Fleet in 1788, fought to survive in what is now, Australia. The convicts and prostitutes, knew nothing about their destination, except it was the other side of the world. But they hadn't expected the totally undeveloped country, nor that the men would have to spend the first two weeks erecting tents and temporary buildings. The day the women were allowed onshore, there was sexual debauchery and mayhem, but Elizabeth Powley, the original gang-leader, had no intention of joining in, knowing she was pregnant. The father may have been the Irish convict she'd loved before he died, or the Captain of Marines she'd seduced in his cabin. That first year in the new country proved to be full of challenge, danger, and trauma for all, including Elizabeth Powley, as trouble followed her, defying her to achieve the happiness she so longed for.

'Reading this book is like taking a ride on a marvellously exhilarating time-machine, alive with colour, surprise and sheer merriment' Jan Morris Elizabethan London reveals the practical details of everyday life so often ignored in conventional history books. It begins with the River Thames, the lifeblood of Elizabethan London, before turning to the streets and the traffic in them. Liza Picard surveys building methods and shows us the interior decor of the rich and the not-so-rich, and what they were likely to be growing in their gardens. Then the Londoners of the time take the stage, in all their amazing finery. Plague, smallpox and other diseases afflicted them. But food and drink, sex and marriage and family life provided comfort. Cares could be forgotten in a playhouse or the bull-baiting of bear-baiting rings, or watching a good cockfight. Liza Picard's wonderfully skilful and vivid evocation of the London of Elizabeth I enables us to share the delights, as well as the horrors, of the everyday lives of our sixteenth-century ancestors.

Historical-fiction based on the young life of Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten, the noted African American folksinger, who wrote the famous song "Freight Train" when she was just eleven years old. Elizabeth's Song is the true-life story of Elizabeth (Libba) Cotten, the noted African American folksinger, guitarist, and songwriter. Against all odds, young Elizabeth teaches herself to play guitar left-handed on a borrowed instrument. Eventually, she earns enough money to buy a guitar of her very own, and is then inspired to write her first song--the folk classic "Freight Train," written when she was eleven years old. Elizabeth's unique style of playing guitar (upside down and backwards), from which the term "cotten picking" is derived, has influenced countless other artists. Elizabeth's story is one that will inspire people of all ages.
