Dinkum yet Dutch

“Every page filled with energy and wit as John shares his amazing romp through two very different childhood worlds.”

“A delightful insight on living in Sydney’s Northern Beaches area during the fifties, with beautifully managed themes throughout. I loved the characters, all really well drawn.”

“You’ll sigh and shed a tear or two, but mostly you’ll laugh out loud as Lindeman brings the fifties vividly back to life.”

“The best and worst of post-war Australia are laid bare in this enjoyable yet touching story of the struggles of a Dutch family finding their place in a strange new country.”

About the Author

John was born in Holland and arrived here in 1950 with his family when he was just two years old. This is the story of their struggle to successfully build a new home in Australia and how John’s friends, family and foes made him proud to be Dinkum, yet Dutch.

Today, John Lindeman is a leading property market analyst and commentator and has authored two landmark best-selling books, Mastering the Australian Housing Market and Unlocking the Property Market, both published by Wileys.

Motherhood & Musings

A book of short and inspirational stories

A friend suggested that I should blog.

My initial response was, “meh”. I am not a writer.

That being said, she was right and I was wrong.

So, I’m just going to blog my simple, daily thoughts as I walk this life out and maybe…

somehow… I might inspire someone.

Deanna Djuric self-published author of 'Motherhood and Musings'

About the Author

The daughter of a political refugee and migrant, Deanna was born in Adelaide, South Australia. Given that she didn’t learn to speak English until she was five, writing was never a perceived strength during her school years. As a renowned local musician, it wasn’t until Deanna did her Masters of Music degree that she discovered the joy of writing. Through the writing of her thesis, Messiaen’s Musical Language for the Jazz Pianist: An Exploration Through Performance, Deanna attributes any skill gained to her Masters supervisor, Dr Kimi Coaldrake. She began her blog when her second child was born as a creative outlet and an opportunity to maintain her writing skills. Her blog is a menagerie of faith-inspired epiphanies and musings based on her everyday life.

Deanna spends this side of early motherhood investing in the next generation of musicians as an educator at Brighton Secondary School’s Special Interest Music Centre.

The Little Things: A Breast Cancer Memoir

 

It’s ‘the little things’ that matter.

No one knows that more than Lindsey Kennedy. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she couldn’t find the book she needed to read, so she wrote one.

This is Lindsey’s ultimately uplifting story filled with humour when faced with unthinkable health crises. When many would have found only storm clouds, she found silver linings. Along the way, she was supported by the love of family, friends and strangers.

Lindsey’s determination to help others led to her being one of the faces of a national breast cancer awareness campaign, and The Little Things offers insight for anyone facing the dreaded diagnosis. It’s practical, comforting and empowering.

About the Author

Lindsey Kennedy lives in Victoria, Australia with her husband and two children. She is a public speaker, a BreastScreen Victoria ambassador, civil celebrant, teacher and a breast cancer survivor.

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.

PAPERBACK

Highway To Well

This is a story about my personal journey through mental illness. I suffered from severe depression from 2012 until 2015. At one stage my illness became so acute that I became psychotic. Due to my illness, I lost three years of my life. I am sharing my story in the hope that it will not only give encouragement to others who are suffering from the same debilitating illness, but I also hope to touch the lives of the carers, friends, and families of those afflicted with such an insidious, indiscriminate disease.
