Requiem For A Pandemic

A Post Apocalyptic Christmas Tale

A perfect balance between silliness and profound emotional depth, making it a truly unique and heartwarming experience.

The spirit of Christmas is facing its greatest challenge. After the apocalyptic COVID-19 Zeta strain devastated humanity, Kris, once known as Santa, wanders a desolate world. Depressed and aimless, he stumbles upon a struggling settlement on Coode Island and sees a glimmer of hope.

Determined to revive the joy and unity of Christmas, Kris seeks the help of his wife, Martha, and his old friends, April, the Tooth Fairy, and Harry, the Easter Bunny.

Together, they must confront the dangers of this new world and the divisions and deceptions threatening to tear them apart. As Kris battles to restore the traditions that once brought people together, he discovers his greatest fight is against hopelessness and despair.

Requiem for a Pandemic is a poignant post-apocalyptic Christmas tale of redemption, resilience, and the enduring power of hope.

Taking Care of Business

Business is immensely rewarding yet extremely tough, rather like parenting. My purpose in writing this book is to encourage you that you are not alone in your daily struggles and the various challenges you encounter.

Our business began to provide us the flexibility needed to work around our young family, and twenty years later it has matured into adulthood. This didn’t happen without the inevitable growth spurts and pains, triumphs and tantrums, highs and lows.

I hope that some of the twenty lessons I’ve shared will motivate you on your own journey, and help you to enjoy the adventure of business more daily.

Plan G

Your life is your opportunity to encounter God and His intentions for you.

Plan G is the blueprint to discover God’s plan and purpose for your life. It’s worth remembering that only God can enter your life knowing your future and with the correct viewpoint. Given this foreknowledge, what we all really need is His Plan G – God’s plan – which is about His unfailing goodness to all generations and comes with an eternal, not just a lifetime, guarantee.

It’s God’s great rescue plan for His most precious creation – mankind. It’s like no other plan ever devised. It is timeless, priceless and matchless and there’s a place within it just for you. If you’ve tried plan A without success and your plan B hasn’t worked either, it’s time for you to discover Plan G: the grand design for all time; the plan for mankind from beginning to end. May God bless you and reveal His truth to you as you read about and join the dots of His marvellous plan.

George

George tells the life story of George T Tilston, who experienced his fair share of trouble and sorrow in his first threescore and ten years: two world wars, a great depression and a deep recession to name a few.

On the verge of reaching his seventieth birthday he did ‘fly away’ – not off the perch exactly, but off to Perth in Western Australia – propelled by the love for his family and the promise of a new beginning.

A new life in the Colony of Victoria

 

Four brothers and a sister emigrated from Ireland to the Colony of Victoria between 1853 and 1858. They came as part of the gold rush, but not because of the lure of gold. They came to farm the new pastoral and agricultural estates. Life in Northern Ireland
during the early 19th Century, provided limited opportunities for families. After years of hard work as agricultural labourers on the large estates of the far-off colony, they became successful landowners. Their children were born as first-generation Victorians who
continued in the traditional trades. However, some embarked on new careers as novel opportunities became available after Federation.

About the Author

 

Barry J Conn is a fourth generation Australian who grew up on a wheat and sheep farm at Wail, in the Wimmera district of western Victoria. He was briefly a mathematics and science secondary school teacher at the Horsham High School before becoming a botanist employed in Bulolo and Lae, Papua New Guinea, and then Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. He published many scientific papers, including the ‘Trees of Papua New Guinea’ (three volumes) and one children’s book, ‘My brother Neville is a pest.’ He retired as Principal Research Scientist from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney in 2015 and, together with his wife, now lives in rural Victoria.

Love & Light

 

A story about never giving up

Growing is part of life’s journey.

We change, we learn, and we evolve until we become who we are meant to be. The little seed in this story represents each one of us, and is a gentle reminder to embrace all the different seasons of life. The little seed is learning about patience, perseverance, trusting the process – and most importantly, to never give up.

Note from the Author

 

There are hidden meanings and lessons in your life and healing has a beautiful way of discovering them. Things might not always make sense or be fair, and at times something can be very painful. But if we trace our life backwards, we always find our way home, back to ourselves, back to love and back to the light within us.

Through my own healing journey, I gained some incredible insights which invoked a sense of creativity within me. I found inspiration in the intertwined lessons of life and nature.

Nature grounds us, inviting reflection and connection. For children, it serves as a gentle reminder of the Love surrounding them, offering solace in moments of feeling lost and an opportunity to tap into their inner Light. The Light is the unseen guiding force, it brings hope, clarity and intuition.

Through storytelling, I aim to shed light on these themes, showcasing how nature nurtures the heart and the importance of planting the seed of what Love & Light could represent in the impressionable minds of the young people who will shape the future.

My hope is that this story reaches into your heart and your home. May we all discover the power of healing, creating, and never giving up.

The Manifestation Diaries

Here are the chronicles of exploring manifestation with an open mind and sceptical heart. These are ideas that enchanted and bewildered me, though not without some edge of doubt. The answers for the workings and magic of life, and reality, are mysterious and rarely certain, but at least for a time, I suppose these were mine.

Secrets of a season, stories from a period of youth, seen through my starry eyes, wild imagination and midnight dreams.
