The Mystery of the Old Gold Mine

About the Book

A week’s vacation goes terribly wrong for four young people when hoodlums kidnap and leave three of them tied and gagged two hundred and fifty feet underground in an old, abandoned mine shaft. Charlie and Jennifer are forced to find a way to rescue their friends before it becomes too late. With a limited supply of water available and cave-ins that threaten to trap all five of them underground, the group struggles through dust, lack of air, and a desire to be free again.

About the Author

I am a heavy equipment operator. I have worked in producing gold mines and have worked the different processes used to extract gold from gravel. I am also an adventurer; I love travelling, exploring old back roads, and the miracle of nature. Since my early teens, I have wanted to write my own book. This first manuscript has taken me over twenty years to get it where it is today. Since I often work in isolated camps and usually work seven days a week, ten to twelve hours a day, I found it difficult to find the time to keep up with writing. Since I have semi-retired, I have found the time I need and have two other manuscripts in this series that just require editing. I have lived most of my life in various parts of Yukon, Northern British Columbia, Alberta, and Vancouver Island, right in the area where this first manuscript takes place.
