Eluding Sylvia, Chasing Poe

A choose-your-own-adventure prose, poetry and imagery journey from inside the mind of a bipolar-disordered human. One critic said it was like Alice in Wonderland on Lithium; psychedelic yet ordinary.

The book’s written content is a collection of lyrical poems, microstories and prose with the addition of illustrations, photographs and insights in a ‘choose your own adventure’ concept. Each adventure contains a different facet of the symptoms of the Bipolar illness using role play with different mood characters. With the use of this method, it has given the power back to the reader to choose their mood. This displays the relentless lack of choice within the sufferer of the illness.

The author/artist was once a ‘New Poet’ (Friendly Street Poets, 2010) and contributor to ‘Mad, Sad Words’ (Joseph Dunn, 2006).

StupIT People

StupIT People is a tongue in cheek exposé of the world of modern big technology business. It’s a world where corporate madness and self-interest rules. One in which clients and employees simply don’t matter, as senior executives (aka company psychopaths) pursue short-term personal profit and internal point-scoring at absolutely any cost.

The story revolves around Michael Mansfield, a loyal and hard-working IT Sales Executive who strives to do the right thing by his company. For Michael, saving stupid people from themselves, navigating the constant back-stabbing within the business, and dealing with corporate political correctness gone mad has become a way of life.

This light-hearted tale of redemption will resonate with anyone who has experienced the sheer head-scratching absurdity that often exists within the modern business bubble.

About the Author

Born and raised in Adelaide, Steve Eatts worked in the field of Information Technology for more than 30 years, in many different roles across both public and private sector organisations. Throughout his career his work has taken him on business assignments in the United Kingdom, USA, India, Japan, New Zealand, the Philippines and across all states of Australia.

After a hectic career involving far too much time away from family and friends, Steve decided to step off the corporate treadmill of IT and big business to pursue some other interests including writing his debut novel.  He now describes himself as semi-retired, and is a widower who lives in South Australia with his two sons.

In the Blink of an Eye

My life changed forever on November 8 2002.

In a way that I did not see coming.

This is my story, but my hope is that everyone who reads it can take something away for themselves. It is not a story that was always easy to write, however it is a story I wanted to tell.

My accident happened when I was 21 years old and I still feel it’s impact in some way, all these years later. What I learnt about myself and about life in the years after, in many ways makes me thankful that I went through what I did.

I learnt not to take things for granted, I learnt not to focus on the things that don’t matter and most importantly, I learnt that everything can change in the blink of an eye.
