Drowning in Her Eyes (45 page)

I have had a colourful and varied career. As a farmer, I learned about life and death, jubilation and sorrow, success and failure, from an early age
,
as I experienced good seasons and crops, but also drought, flood, fire, and market crashes. As a soldier, I learned about duty, commitment, and honour, along with planning and man-
management. As a student of history, and a traveller, I gained important information and learned to appreciate different cultures. I am a voracious reader of both fiction and non-
fiction and that, along with my life experiences
,
has delivered me a deep well of knowledge from which to draw my stories.

I began writing in 2012 and my first book,
Drowning in Her Eyes
, reflects a part of my early life that has been imprinted in my memory for more than fifty years. It tells a story of young love
,
and the joy and sorrow it can bring. That part of my life did not turn out well for me, but I was able to gift to my characters the happy conclusion I did not have.

I believe my story telling skills are enhanced by my passion to ensure my books are technically and chronologically correct, thoroughly researched.
