‘An avid short story reader, I thought these were brilliant and must be published. The stories are not only told by Brian but are Brian, reflecting his witty sometime subtle sense of humour and play on words. They are naturally thought provoking.’

AUTHORS BIOGRAPHY
As a long-time friend of Brian and his wife Karen, I felt privilege when asked to write this Author’s Biography. Our friendship extends back to primary school days and over the years that followed when we have enjoyed tramping (hiking) in the beautiful South Island bush of New Zealand. I’m glad that as you read this book of Brian’s, you will share in the delight of wit and emotion—of people in situations in which you might see yourself and also feel the emotion and humour.
Brian is a caring person and on one occasion he spent 6 weeks in voluntary service at a missionary hospital on the edge of the Kalahari Desert. He also likes to encourage others to step out of their comfort zone. After he completed a Masters Degree in Psychology, I was motivated to complete a Masters degree in Professional Studies. Brian has accounting and management qualifications as well.
As a family man who loves music and sport, he has enjoyed seeing his wife and 3 adult children develop a similar passion.
Brian loves to blend in and to be known as an average Kiwi bloke. He writes his stories with the hope the reader will get enjoyment and inspiration. I know that you will.
