City on Fire (ePub)

Larry Votava is an Australian author who lives in Ocean Grove, a Victorian coastal town.
His second novel, City on Fire, stems from living in Perth, Western Australia, for twenty-two years. Perth, the most isolated capital city in the world, and one of the wealthiest per capita. And with wealth comes corruption, something the author has seen firsthand. Although a work of fiction, the possibility of certain events in the book actually happening does exist.
His first novel, the Mahogany Ship, although fiction, has some truth to it — the legend of the Mahogany Ship does exist, fishermen having sighted the boat high and dry on a beach near Port Fairy Victoria in 1836. There were numerous sightings in the years afterward, but eventually, the shipwreck disappeared into the sand or myth. The author, as a child, holidayed with his family for fourteen years at the caravan park at Port Fairy — hence the campground setting. Some of the kids' exploits in the novel are based on fact. As a whole though, the novel is a work of fiction.
At the moment, the author is working on his third novel, The Nullarbor, a journey into the broken heart of Australia's outback wilderness; a journey the author has taken many times throughout his thirty-year career in mineral exploration.
As always, the author's love of the ocean manages to sneak its way into each novel.
