I am semi-retired family man, that along with my wife of over fifty years, has had a lifetime of visiting, working and living in varying locations within several states of Australia and in the north and south islands of New Zealand and five very memorable years living and working in beautiful Fiji. During this time I have had many interesting experiences, met a wide range of people from various walks of life, many of whom have told of some of their life adventures. This has allowed me to gathered true-life material to add to what my lovely wife refers to as my, “vivid imagination”. I now have time to put to paper, tales both fictional and non-fictional, using a collation of instances learnt, experienced, seen, heard and imagined, drawn from the mists of my mind, for others to enjoy.
