Autorenporträt
Born the year the MCG was illegally watered (1955), Ken Piesse is Australian sports' master storyteller. Ken has played almost 900 games of cricket and another 100 or so of footy, from Bath and Rotorua to the Gabba, the MCG and the Adelaide Oval. In 46 fun-filled years, he and his wife Susan have toured to the UK (seven times), South Africa and Zimbabwe, the West Indies and New Zealand. They also found time to have and raise a son and four daughters! Ken was President of the Australian Cricket Society from 2006 to 2022. As well as continuing to write and publish, he now works on cruise ships, telling cricket and football stories, tall and true, to sporting fans while sailing the seas. His new memoir Living the Dream (book #89) draws on this lifetime in sport. It tells the story of a sports-mad kid, not good enough to play at the very highest levels but who still achieved above and beyond through his passion, enthusiasm, hard work, and the people he met along the way.
