First Book of: "The Newfie Bullet Trilogy" Author Quote: "I've been working on variations of this Trilogy for some time. It became part of an ongoing memoir. But it wasn't until the Tsunami hit Japan, that something was released that kept me slamming away at the keyboard day and night" I had not anticipated that it would also lead me to my dream-train, the magical Newfie Bullet, and it's there I bring myself and the poems I still carry after all these years. The more I write, the less division between my life and my writing. Still riding the same rails after so many years - only the stations are changing. And now the completed Trilogy arrives in the station. It starts with this volume.

Maud Tilley felt as if all her dreams had come true. In the small outport of George's Cove, she'd met the love of her life. Like her, he didn't care what people thought. Like her, he was happy to live together without being married. As long as they had each other, that was enough. But, when Ern dies, it seems that nothing will ever be right again. She has to draw on the legendary strength of the Newfoundland woman, to discover that love can last far beyond the grave. This is the story of what happens when everyone tries to force Maud to leave her small and moonlit house.In the twenty-five years since this novel, the first of "The Terra Nova Quartet," was hailed when it first arrived, William Gough has now completed the quartet.
