Writing Books

It had been my goal to reach ten books authored by me and then retire from writing, until a brain tumour requiring surgery to remove it, and a pleasing response to my two Balmain Tigers books gave me impetus to continue. I had aimed to research and write four more Tigers themed rugby league books, but it would be a massive amount of work to complete, and I now have some other priorities not related to writing. With this in mind if I were to construct book number eleven I would like it to be my second memoir, covering my life from the year 2000 to date. This memoir would complete my book writing efforts.

Tony Lewis on The American Dream: From Perth to Sacramento


My first baseball themed book was The American Dream: From Perth to Sacramento and reader Tony Lewis asserts that there is no reference to this work being fiction. It was published as a Contemporary Literature & Fiction / Literary Fiction book, which is its categorization on Amazon. The book's official product description is, "A novel with a memoir-esque feel to it, of an Australian baseball player who pursues a professional career in America. The story examines issues like living overseas, life as a professional baseball player and friendships." I'm satisfied I took reasonable steps to present this book as a work of fiction.

Lunch with Patrick Skene


It was fantastic to have lunch with Patrick Skene, today, at Steersons Steakhouse on King Street Wharf. We discussed creative ideas and also talked in detail about his superb book The Big O, The Life and Times of Olsen Filipaina. I have made a great new friend now that I know Patrick, and he is a notably perceptive conversationalist. Patrick works for an insights/marketing agency as a chief creative officer, he is also an author and a storyteller. In the above photograph I'm on the left hand side and Patrick is on the right.

Dress Up Characters

 


During the strict COVID-19 social restrictions I developed about ten dress up characters to walk down the street as. With entertainment venues closed and undertaking exercise as one of the few permitted activities, I had to make my own fun. I'm confident I could construct a novel based on the experiences I had. Above is my character Johannes Larsson in Balmain Tigers attire.
