Being Sam

Being Sam opens a different window on the world. It may make you smile, it may make you cry …

Being Sam is memoir of life and death, rascal chromosomes and rogue cancer cells, and a lot of love in between, written by Sam’s mother, Morag Zwartz.

Diagnosed with leukaemia at two, Sam astonished his medical team by surviving so many relapses before the disease took its toll.

About the Author

Morag Zwartz began as a journalist in New Zealand, at The Press, Christchurch, where she was able to pursue an interest in investigating stories behind the scenes.

Later, in Australia, she wrote The New Age Gospel: Christ or Counterfeit? – a detailed investigation of the New Age movement in all its forms (1987). Two exposes of religious cults followed: Fractured Families (2004) and Apostles of Fear (2008).

Hi, My Name is Angus – What’s Your Name?

Every family enjoys spending a day at the park and the Harrisons are no exception.

Sharing this experience with Alec and Nicole Harrison is Angus, a West Highland White Terrier. He’s their beloved pet.

Follow the Harrisons on this adventurous day as they travel to the little playground.

About the Author

Having owned a “Westie”, I have experienced the joy and pleasure of owning this magnificent breed. So I decided to write about mine and my family’s stories of our Angus and the adventures we all enjoyed

Terrier Publishing was created with a passion for West Highland White Terriers.

My vision for Terrier Publishing is to create a series of books with brand new adventures.

Writing these lovely illustrated childrens books reminds me of all the fun times we had together. My first book, Hi My Name is Angus, What’s Your Name, puts together a story of fun – an adventure we spent as a family and one that includes the many friends that Angus met along the way.

The next book in the series is Hi My Name is Angus, What’s Your Name – Angus’s Beach Adventure.

This takes the Harrison’s on a trip to their local beach and as always Angus gets up to some fun adventures of his very own.

Then the final book in the series is called Hi My Name is Angus, What’s Your Name – Angus Visits Nanna and Poppa’s Farm.

This takes the Harrison’s to visit Mrs Harrison’s Mum and Dad, who live on a large farm near Victor Harbor. There Angus has an exciting time, playing and meeting his old farm animal friend and making new friends along the way.

With Angus there were always days filled with excitement and fun, He’s the inspiration that has helped me create and capture my wonderful memories and deliver these amazing illustrated childrens books to you and your family. You can share the adventures of Angus with children and generations to come.

I hope that these books give you and everyone you love, the opportunity to enjoy and read together. Its been a joy for me creating these beautiful stories that are part of my time spend with my wonderful Angus.

GPS: Your Guide to Navigating Change

Get help with:

  • Where to start with change and how to get a handle on what’s just happened.
  • Knowing when to take action and when to step back and allow life to unfold.
  • The steps you can take to understand change and work with it, instead of against it.
  • Tips on what you can do to influence change in your world.

Any life change is a journey. There’s a starting point when your world begins to change, an end point when you think you’ve made it through, and a pathway between the two. That pathway can have twists and turns, roundabouts, and hairpin bends, or it can be a direct line from start to end.

The GPS consists of three key tools to help you on this journey:

  1. A compass,
  2. A road map, and
  3. A travel guide.

The GPS as a whole gives you a systemised way to proceed through life’s challenging, confusing, and overwhelming moments. It isn’t the crystal ball you’d sometimes like to have in times of change, but its structure will give you reassurance when everything else seems out of control.

Using the road map, compass, and travel guide, you’ll come to approach change (and life!) from a completely different perspective. Change is usually uncomfortable, it can even be a little (or a lot) scary, but with the GPS you have a strategy that keeps you on track, and in tune with where you’re at along the way.

Five Easy Ways to Solve the Aged Care Puzzle

IT’S TRICKY BEING PART OF THE SANDWICH GENERATION.

Why are we called that? It’s simple – we’re sandwiched between our kids who are possibly still finding their way and our parents who are possibly losing theirs.

When reading 5 Easy Ways to Solve the Aged Care Puzzle, stories may sound all too familiar. You may think I’m zeroing in on your family.

Trust me, I’m not, because my stories come from a variety of places around the globe in western civilisations.

It’s so important for you to realise that you’re not alone in this tricky transitional journey. Many of your friends and colleagues may also be perplexed with the issues of impending Aged Care for their loved ones.

Talk with them, talk with the type of professionals mentioned in this book and make the process easier. It doesn’t have to be hard. Talking can ease what you’re going through.

Imagine the process being easy, because you enlisted the help of professionals who do this every day and know all the tips and tricks of this ever-changing process.

Moving a loved one into Aged Care is not a Set and Forget process. It requires follow-up with the Aged Care Home staff, observation of changes, continuing to pay bills and shopping for incidentals, but your loved one will be safe.

And if you’ve been involved in full-time care for a loved one, you’ll possibly find that after 24/7 care is over, you may begin to remember the funnier moments.
