False Colours

by Judith Saxton

In the end, Frankie has decided to follow Trevor's advice -- to leave home. She goes to meet him at a port, where he's promised to find her work, and when she thinks she's found the ship that he's on, she goes aboard. But it's the wrong ship and before she can undo her mistake, she finds herself at sea on a fishing trawler headed for the Arctic. Not only does Frankie have to endure the rough life on board, but, having been mistaken for the galley boy, she must maintain the pretence of being a man. And when the skipper discovers her secret, she finds that she is now in his power.

About the author

Pseudonym of Katie Flynn.

Katie Flynn was born in Norwich and attended Norwich High School, where she was extremely happy and extremely undistinguished. Published at the tender age of eight, in Enid Blyton's Sunny Stories, she joined a Writers’ Circle as an adult, publishing short stories, articles, etc; only turning to novels in 1971 because the postal strike cut off her main source of income!
At first she wrote under several different names – Judith Saxton, Judy Turner, Lydia Balmain, Judith Arden – but her Katie Flynn books were a delight to write and proved far more popular than she had dreamed. She has now published nearly ninety novels, twenty-seven of which are Flynns. Her most recent titles are: Lost Days of Summer and Christmas Wishes.
