Thomas Rushworth Snr is racing against time to save his son from imminent death in a war he wanted no part of.

Usually, I wouldn't say I like tales of war, but Rushworth-Brown has captured the essence of humanity with love, romance, fear and mystery in this engaging family saga. The twists and turns, and that ending.

Red Winter Journey is Here, Will Baird Sits Down with Established Australian Author Paul Rushworth-Brown.
Modern writers usually don't know what it was like to live in the past but Rushworth-Brown has done this with great skill in this accomplished, atmospheric and thoughtful novel”
The writing is very descriptive, the hooks are very bold, and told in a way that places the reader in the time and place.
