F*ck the Lesson

My wild ride to motherhood and all the obstacles in between

A raw and honest memoir of one woman’s journey to becoming a mother; faced with a series of traumatic events riddled with zesty personality and a brutal sense of humour. With the aim to bring awareness to the depths of physical and psychological warfare that exists in motherhood, the book is not only for mothers or those who have suffered significant loss, but also for the partners, the friends and the family to see through an unfiltered lens.

PAPERBACK

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.

a Soldier’s Diary

 

No. 33463 Cecil Howard Taylor 50th Battalion – 108 Howitzer AIF 1916-1919

‘an enemy plane was brought down today, Baron Von Richthofen was the pilot’ ‘the whole countryside was one huge flame of fire, what a battle – fear was found nowhere’ ‘so at daylight on Easter Sunday, we were baptised in shells and mud’ What a sight – dead – yes in every little trench and hole made by shells, there were dead – such is war’ ‘we ran together until a shell fell right down between us … ‘ ‘eleven times the Huns came afresh, and eleven times we withstood our ground – each time with less men and yet each time with more confidence’ ‘I cannot see what such folly war is, but for some suicide for any country – surely people were not
predestined to such giving and taking of lives’ ‘the few words I have written in this diary are as nothing compared to what might have been written’

Cecil Taylor.
