Well, maybe it's in my genes.  My great-grandmother wrote poems, my granddad had a newspaper, and my mother loved to write.  None were published, or so I think. 

 

My son, Vic, has two books published on collectible posters.  "Great Rock & Roll Street Art" Scriffer Publishing and "Great Street Art: Regae, Blues and World Beat" Postors, Scriffer Publishing.  If you want to check them out, do a search of Burleigh, Vic.

 

I started writing prose poems and then some book ideas came to me.  Then I decided I needed training in writing so I enrolled in the Children's Institute.  Two of the stories I wrote for them as exercises, are included in this site, Dedan and Bridget.  

 

My great-grandmother's poem is so good I decided to copy it for this site.  I even wrote music for it.  It's called "The Flowers O' May."

 

I discovered NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)  November 2009. I decided to take the challenge and write a novel  in November and out popped "An Old Man Who Lived at the Bottom of a Tree."  I was awarded a free proof paper-back copy by CreatSpace and it is now printed.  See my home page for more info.

 

Since then, you can see on the bar to the left, I have written two more books with NaNoWriMo.  I am thankful to these wonderful people and also to CreateSpace who publishes them.
