Rest In Peace Moggy

As many have noticed Moggy has been offline for some time. she has been my editor for a while and got to know her a bit with our many emails. Because I knew what town she lived in, I was able to track down her phone number. Sadly a recorded message from her ex husband announces that she has passed away. Rest In Peace Dear Lady, you will be greatly missed. Info Update; Moggy passed away on Friday the 6th of April, aged 55.

My Writing

I have been writing short stories since my mid teens, sadly all of my original stories from back then have been lost, i guess i began writing as i found it to be a way to escape from my world of worries, pain, depression and anxiety. Now with a far different world from back then, when i use to use writing pads and pen to write my stories, then in my early adulthood moved up to using a typewriter, and now using my laptop computer, my stories have changed dramatically. Thankfully with the world of

Awesome News

Hello Happy Followers I am very happy to announce, that thanks to an awesome follower. I am been able to recover 8 lost stories, that I thought I had lost forever. They are: Lost, Orphan - Reid, Tsunami, Farm Life, Grammar School, Life Turnaround, Province & New Australia. It will be some time before I can get these reposted, as I wish to have them run through editors again. If there are any editors interested in joining the team, it would be very much appreciated.

Update on stories

Hello to all of my wonderful story followers. Thank you for taking the time to read my stories, I get great enjoyment out of writing, and its even more rewarding when I get so many people reading them and even commenting on them.

Sailing Adventures & Wilderness - I have had an enquiry about if there is going to be a following up story to these two st

Sailing

I spent a few hours sailing today and it was bloody awesome...       The yacht was a Beneteau 40 foot, and it was great to have the wind in my face as we sailed in the large harbour, with an average of 15 knot apparent winds.   The Shipwreck in the background,  in the first photo is the Cheyes II, one of the last Whaling ships in Australia.

Im Back

Hello Followers I have had to take some time off from GA.   I have been still writing a little, starting a second story, with a 2nd book of New Beginnings, that is called NB - New Direction.   It still has to go through editing, so it will be a while before it appears on GA.   Meanwhile the next book of Outback is almost ready for publishing, so stay tuned for them. Regards Quokka
