THROUGH PADDYFIELD AND MINEFIELD

 

My Teenage Years in Khmer Rouge Cambodia

WITNESS THE UNTHINKABLE

THROUGH PADDYFIELD AND MINEFIELD is a powerful memoir of survival, loss and resilience in the shadow of Cambodia’s darkest years under the brutal regime of the Khmer Rouge.

From the harsh realities of famine to life in the work camps, and the haunting tragedy of the Ghost Mountain minefields, the author shares an unflinching story few dared to tell.

Told with honesty and courage, this memoir blends detailed personal memories with witnessed observations to history, shedding light on long-suppressed events and experiences rarely spoken of. This is more than a record of suffering, it is a testament to human endurance and the will to survive.

Through Paddyfield and Minefield invites readers into a world where every step carried danger and where even remembering the past is a bold act of defiance.

His Babies Didn’t Cry

 

A true story of heartbreak, resilience, and a father’s unending love.

His Babies Didn’t Cry is a deeply personal account of love, loss, and the lifelong scars left by tragedy.

When his twin sons died at birth, their father was thrust into an anguish no parent should ever endure. Grief and regret reshaped his life, leaving him battling not only sorrow but also the physical toll.

Through raw reflection, he confronts the medical missteps, the weight of choices made under pressure, and the unrelenting burden of “what if.” Haunted by the suffering his sons endured, he writes with the hope that one day, when they meet again, his boys will forgive him for not being the advocate they deserved.

A moving story of heartbreak, resilience, and enduring love, His Babies Didn’t Cry gives voice to pain too often silenced and to the healing that can begin when grief is finally shared.

Child of the Pacific

From empire to independence, through the eyes of a child

An insightful and unforgettable account of a young boy’s journey through family struggles, history, way and a nation’s aspiration to free itself from colonialism.

Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, was a contested island for nearly a century. Germany, UK, Japan and Australia each had interrupted periods of administration, influence and development of the island and region around it.

In 1975, Warwick witnessed the country’s shift into independence.

As a young boy, he watched the place he’d grown up in change for the better. For the first time, its people felt they could once again be at the forefront in determining their own destiny, and the excitement and optimism at such a prospect was almost tangible.

This one of a kind memoir is told through the memories and records of a boy who lived through one of the most major changes in PNG history, following him from his formative years to the country’s 50 year anniversary of independence.

Leading out of Loss

In a world of suit-and-tie CEOs, the leaders who wear their hearts will win

By age 30, Michael Nitschke had lived a life well beyond his years. He’d lost his mum to mental illness and his dad to cancer in quick succession. The Nitschke name, while revered in the community, carried a turbulent history with a devastating legacy.

Part-memoir, part-business wisdom, Leading Out of Loss is a coming-of-age story – of human endurance, transcendence, and alchemising suffering into success.

This searingly honest book delicately deals with grief, the cobwebs within a family lineage, divine intuition, self-reinvention, and Michael’s personal and professional epiphany: the power of vulnerability, in business and in life.

Leading Out of Loss is a testament to depth of the human spirit – and gives you the permission to lead with heart and humility, embracing vulnerability as your greatest asset.

After all, the Theatre was only a building. It’s the Artists and Characters who made it great.
