My diverse
background, varied lifestyles and the many people I have met
on my travels have provided me with a great platform to draw
from for writing.
Abandoning
university studies to travel, I ended up in Western Australia
professionally roo shooting. Subsequent occupations included
prawn fishing, copper and sapphire mining, yard building and
fencing, and inventing and manufacturing. I also spent time
selling real estate and taxi driving and operating several
small businesses and recently obtained a diploma in counselling
and work in the area of suicide bereavement support and prevention.
Since turning
my hand to writing I have produced three novels in the past
year and have several others in the making. Like many other
aspiring authors I realised the problem of convincing a mainstream
publisher to accept and publish my works was a daunting one.
After the 'literary gate-keepers' politely rejected my last
submissions accompanied by a favourable manuscript agency
appraisal, obtained at their insistence, I decided a different
approach was needed if I was to see my works in finished form
before I departed this great planet.
This resulted
in the development of "The Self-Publishing
System" and subsequent publication of my books
with others to follow soon. If you are presently in the same
situation I invite you to avail yourself of the system, which
is more fully explained further on.
I hope you
will enjoy reading my books. While not true life adventures
and events, they are strongly influenced by the fluctuating
harshness and cruelty of the great, sun-ravaged outback and
paradoxically, the over-whelming peace and serene solitude
it offers to those that embrace it.
And of course,
the people who call it 'home'. Suspense and action abound,
fueled as always by people's confused perceptions of their
own reality and their subsequent inhumanity to their fellow
person.
Enjoyable reading!
Sincerely,
