Produktbeschreibung
In Stories from the Heart, Greg Keynes, best-selling author of The Flying Bushman, returns with a new collection of stories about life, making a living, and living life to the fullest. From droving wild livestock on an Australian station to travelling Europe as a young man, to an account of the helicopter crash that nearly cost him his life and the NDE he had, these stories introduce an interesting cast of characters (both human and animal). Set largely against the backdrop of the Outback and describing a way of life that many will never know, Greg takes life by the horns, so to speak, in stories about cowboys and horses, tough bulls and even tougher, smart goats, and a look at some of the people and places that make this part of the world unique.
Autorenporträt
In Stories from the Heart, Greg Keynes, best-selling author of The Flying Bushman, returns with a new gripping collection of stories about life experiences in the outback, as if you were across the kitchen table. It's hard work and pleasure and pain a plenty, with liberal doses of humour to get the job done.Greg re-examines his own life experiences as a non-fiction memoir writer but doesn't just tell personal stories, allowing himself to view his life's tales through a critical lens and objectively identify moments of growth and or trauma that contribute to who he is as a person.He writes from an environment where the oldest rocks on the planet reside, 4.4 billion years old, where the wait-a-while tree grows catching weak drought-stricken sheep in its undergrowth and yet enables top feed for stock to survive on in times of drought, but it's wood is so hard and burns so hot it blew up gold smelting plants at the turn of the century when used.He now lives pretty much retired near Geraldton in Western Australia, Australia but will continue to write, possibly bush stories for children, to help inform them about the bush, that so many are unable to experience, and where Australia started.
