Sri Lanka

Hidden Gems And More

Sri Lanka, a magical island not far from the southern tip of India has enchanted travellers and merchants since ancient times. Marco Polo the 13th century Venetian explorer described the country then known as Ceylon as being of the highest quality and most pleasing island in the world. Sri Lanka has had its share of travails over the years. A 26 year civil war which finally ended in 2009 with the defeat of the ‘Tamil Tiger’ rebels, a devastating tsunami on boxing day 2004, two armed insurrections and a governance system since independence from the British Empire in 1948 that has not been able to extract the true potential of the land and its resourceful people. The country lacks economic development, a 21st century infrastructure, adequate foreign currency reserves and a comfortable standard of living for a majority of its citizens. Poverty is widespread and growing. Sri Lanka needs to attract investment, both foreign and local. Tourism is one way forward due to the island’s beauty, wildlife and culture.

My book is intended to pique the curiosity of modern-day travellers who would enjoy the many aspects of this diverse and interesting island nation which has so much to offer. Tourists can enjoy the many attractions and historic wonders of this resplendent isle, delve into its culture and ancient past and savour the nostalgia of Sri Lanka’s tea industry and lifestyle of the planters in an era gone by. The people of this enchanting yet troubled island deserve the prosperity and happiness which has eluded them so far.

Child of the Pacific

From empire to independence, through the eyes of a child

An insightful and unforgettable account of a young boy’s journey through family struggles, history, way and a nation’s aspiration to free itself from colonialism.

Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, was a contested island for nearly a century. Germany, UK, Japan and Australia each had interrupted periods of administration, influence and development of the island and region around it.

In 1975, Warwick witnessed the country’s shift into independence.

As a young boy, he watched the place he’d grown up in change for the better. For the first time, its people felt they could once again be at the forefront in determining their own destiny, and the excitement and optimism at such a prospect was almost tangible.

This one of a kind memoir is told through the memories and records of a boy who lived through one of the most major changes in PNG history, following him from his formative years to the country’s 50 year anniversary of independence.

In the heart of Sarsean, where shadows twist and secrets lurk, a skilled thief named Tarin finds himself ensnared by an unforgiving crime syndicate.

Leading out of Loss

In a world of suit-and-tie CEOs, the leaders who wear their hearts will win

By age 30, Michael Nitschke had lived a life well beyond his years. He’d lost his mum to mental illness and his dad to cancer in quick succession. The Nitschke name, while revered in the community, carried a turbulent history with a devastating legacy.

Part-memoir, part-business wisdom, Leading Out of Loss is a coming-of-age story – of human endurance, transcendence, and alchemising suffering into success.

This searingly honest book delicately deals with grief, the cobwebs within a family lineage, divine intuition, self-reinvention, and Michael’s personal and professional epiphany: the power of vulnerability, in business and in life.

Leading Out of Loss is a testament to depth of the human spirit – and gives you the permission to lead with heart and humility, embracing vulnerability as your greatest asset.

God Saved Me From A Jail Sentence

 

The True Story Of A Drug Dealer Transformed By God’s Power

God literally saved me from a Jail sentence when he spoke to me in the middle of a drug deal and gave me instructions on what to do with all the drugs so I wouldn’t go to jail.

I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ; he delivered me from anger, he delivered me from a hatred of women, he saved me from being lost at sea, he healed my fingers when I nailed them together with a nail gun, he put oil in my motorbike and stayed with me for five hundred kilometers to get me home.
