Life's challenges . . . sometimes we seek them, but at other times they are forced upon us. We trust we will rise to the occasion and prevail, although the outcome is never guaranteed. What do we need to win through? Courage? Determination? Persistence? A desire for justice? Five in the Quiver is a collection of longer short stories by writer Ray Keipert based on the above qualities. We start back in time over a hundred years, then advance to our present century. While the various characters are drawn from the author's life experience, they are fictitious, unless publicly known. A soldier's dilemma. A dangerous cult. The search for a stolen art treasure. Justice for a ruthless con woman. Critical events in Pakistan. Yes, challenges aplenty to be met. May you be inspired by these stories and reflect on any personal situations you face. You too can be an overcomer.
Autorenporträt
Apart from times overseas, Ray Keipert lived all his life in various Sydney suburbs prior to retiring north with his wife, Léonie, in 2013. His career experience was in high school teaching, Commonwealth public service administration and, lastly, as a TAFE teacher of communications/examinations supervisor.Ray has always been keen on creative writing but earlier attempts produced nothing lasting. While in the workforce, his main creative outlet for interest in this area was in composing scenarios for his students to analyse. However, after joining the Myall University of the Third Age Writers' group, Ray found the opportunity to produce both short stories and poems. These were a source of great inspiration and pleasure. As part of this group, he contributed to and helped publish their 2020 book, Write by the River. A number of his short stories have received awards in literary competitions.In 2020 Ray co-published an edition of 20 short stories, 'Life's Winners . . . and a Few Losers'. As well as writing, he is enrolled in other U3A courses of special interest. Who knows, these may provide the background for future stories.Ray and Léonie are both well-involved in their local Baptist church, plus the lives of their adult children and grandchildren.
