Autorenporträt
At 12:51 am on Tuesday the 22nd of February 2011, Christchurch New Zealand was struck by a major earthquake, levelling the CTV building opposite to where Brian Wilson was working. One hundred and thirteen lives were lost. This was the catalyst for Brian Wilson's writing career, and with my encouragement, he has published several books including, 'Moments in Time' and 'Bumpy Roads' which are very readable collections of short stories. In 2016 and 2017 the novels 'Operation Iran, ' and 'The First Trumpet' followed. These received very good reviews. I have been good friends with Brian Wilson for many years. As Kiwis, we both had a passion for overseas travel after our adventurous teenage years and at twenty-one, we first visited Australia together. Brian has since taken more daring trips including a trek through Northern Thailand where the only protection against communist insurgents, bandits and drug lords was the guide's machine gun. He also did six weeks of voluntary work in rural Zambia. In more recent times he has travelled with his wife throughout Europe and Asia. Brian Wilson has an M.A. (honours) degree and worked as an investigator for thirty years. He and his wife of thirty-five years have three adult children and eight grandchildren. David. R. Moore
