I became a writer by accident. It began in 1976, while I was serving in the RAAF. I made a rash comment on how easy it was to write a book. My colleague dared me to write and so my journey began. After three months of writing a chapter, in draft and hand written, every night and taking it in to work to show my colleague. She was impressed when I finished. I now began the process of typing the hand written draft into something suitable but my work became heavy with long hours and with a small family only managed to work on the novel whenever I could. After 30 years I finally retired and after 6 six years of learning the craft, editing and editing I finally completed the novel 'Inheritance'. It is very different from the original draft. I now have finished the second novel and have a working draft of a trilogy and a thriller, the latter is for publication in 2017/18. In between publishing Bonsai related material, which is another of my passions. I work on my Bonsai collection. I write every day, if not on novels then on non-fiction bonsai related material. I love writing and have many stories bubbling away and to emerge as soon as I publish.
