Janszoon, Jabar and the Crabpot (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A badly used and disillusioned AFP officer, absent without leave from his job, camps in solitude on an uninhabited island off the coast of Queensland. An accidental discovery leads him to deduce a connection between the ships using the Inner Passage and the smuggling of illicit drugs. It also leads to his permanent disappearance. Janszoon is a pathetically uninspired middle-aged teacher in the local school, the Crabpot is a lonely, defeated student who knows little other than failure and humiliation and Jabar is the family name of the missing man and the alluring wife who comes looking for him. Relevance, truth and self respect are their separate missions, but how to find those things and how to navigate the interference of those around them, remain mysteries.

Autorenporträt

I am a Canadian born Aussie, having emigrated with my wife from the cold wet coast of British Columbia to the warm wet coast of North Queensland in 1975. We both worked in the education system, in a Whitsunday high school, she in Science and I in English and History, for the following 35 years. The Whitsunday coast is as beautiful and its small rural towns (hello Proserpine!) as welcoming and nourishing as anywhere in the world. Retirement, however, saw us move to windy Ballarat in Victoria, to be closer to family. A lovely little city with much to offer.
I write because I love to write. I love the music of the words assembled by writers like J.P. Donleavy, Carol Shields and Tom Robbins. I also love to sculpt, in wood and stone, because things that can be made with, and held in, the hands are good for the soul.
