Tuppence to Pass. London 1800s to Parramatta 1820s. Josh Callan is a London lad making the most of the life dealt to him. Stealing from the man who killed his father gives the family a new direction. Josh gets arrested for theft, but the judge belittles him, saying he’s not worth tuppence. He is transported to the penal colony of Sydney as a convict as Governor Macquarie’s term begins. He proves his worth and lands on his feet, becoming the governor’s groom and confidante. Life in the Colonial town opens opportunities they could never have dreamed about in England, but can Josh find his niche? Where will this strange friendship take him?

Sara Powter resides on the Central Coast of New South Wales. Throughout her childhood, she traveled across Australia, enjoyed fishing, and collected shells, nurturing her love for the country. She met and married Stephen, a minister in the Newcastle Anglican Diocese in NSW, who retired in November 2020.

When COVID-19 struck, Sara found the time to write some of the stories she had long wanted to create. Within four months, she finished three stories. Now, five years later, she is nearing the completion of her 30th book.

Her novels are inspired by her passion for Colonial Australia, her convict ancestors, and the remarkable history of this incredible country.
