I found that when I wrote my biography I unintentionally got some sort of release. That can't be a bad thing.

I have written a series of 5 books titled UGO and JACK, they are children's adventure stories. I have also written a biography titled ..TRUST
and another book called OUT OF THE BOX THINKING which hopefully will stimulate the realization that we are not alone. It also talks about what is really going on in this earthly dimension.

My 5 part series, children's adventure books came directly from my own life's experiences. I was born in 1948 north of Sydney,
In those days, Duffy's Forest where we lived was mostly untouched bush with a few scattered houses.
It bordered Ku-ring-gai Chase a large area of almost 15000 hectares of bush land. Today it is a National Park, but in those days it was just natural bush for anybody to explore.
Meandering right through the middle of the park is Cowan creek, a beautiful tributary of the Hawkesbury River.
Living on a farm that bordered this enormous bush land was fantastic, somehow it seemed as though it all belonged to me!
In those days, as a kid, I felt like an explorer as nobody else had penetrated deep into these areas for well over a hundred years or even at all, it was fascinating for me.
A six hour walk from the farm to Cowan Creek brought me to a place called Duffy's Wharf, it had been derelict for over 100 years, with just part of an old sign left, which read, ring bell for ferry.
On the farm in the late 40s and early 50s there was virtually no communication. My father drove an old Essex truck that continually broke down. We didn't have electricity or a phone, television was unheard of, but we did have a radio. which was every thing to me.
Because I was free to use my imagination I became open to all possibilities, some people may just call it imagination, but I know differently.
This closeness to nature, enabled me to handle death and tragedy in a realistic way.
A lack of education turned out to be my greatest asset, as it helped me to open my ‘special door, to the spirit world.
I am not religious, but I know there is more than just the physical world we are in at the moment.
With this back ground and 72 years of, dare I say it, wisdom, I have been able to write the series of 5, children’s adventure books,
UGO and JACK.
The series of 5 books have been released by Olympia Publishers London.
