Minutes to Memories

In 1963, two Australian families of Irish heritage, Ryan and McNamara, were united through a wedding held in Ivanhoe, Victoria.

Minutes to Memories traces the ancestry of both families, dating back to the 1850s when they emigrated from Ireland.

The author provides a conversational account of his grandparents, parents, and siblings, and also shares his major passions with tales of the characters who have made these passions so special. The book is filled with engaging stories that offer amusing reflections for its numerous characters, in addition to recording important family history.

Minutes to Memories is the author’s gift to his family, providing anecdotes to help future generations understand the personalities that preceded them. It’s a record of who they are, so that in future years they will remain more than just a statistic in ancestry records.

From the P’lice!

To fight the good fight for truth and justice

It’s the mid-80s and Mick realizes it’s time to take a stand: to make a difference.

But instead, he becomes a police officer… This is the story about what happens when one man, young and fearless, brave and determined, smart and resourceful, realizes none of these things matter when you’re knee-deep in drunks, trudging through insect-infested bush, or stuck in the in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, busting for a pee.

From the P’lice! recounts Mick’s journey from shiny recruit to jaded detective, and the many escapades he gets caught up in, as he strives valiantly to fulfil his pledge of causing Her Majesty’s peace to be preserved without favour or affection, malice or ill-will. Albeit with a few shenanigans along the way.

Why Me

Dealing with grief

This book tells the true story of how the author used his Christian Faith to reassure and guide him through the time of his deepest grief following the premature death of his wife and mother of their six children.

This yellow Hibiscus represents Doris’ favourite colour. I picked a fresh flower each day, to put at her bedside in the vase shown in the picture. On one occasion, when wondering if there were flowers in Heaven, I looked up to see the sky filled with flowers. This must have been the answer!
