ABOUT
Neverending Stories features my four books, researched and written by me over some time. I was laid up by a farming accident when I smashed my leg when building a large shed on our farm in South Australia. We had been augmenting the farm income by travelling to Coober Pedy opal fields and digging opals with our old farm bulldozer. We started when world interest rates went crazy thanks to a very poor prime minister known as the Lizard of Oz. We had done a huge devlopment program on the farm to increase to income and were about to pay the bank debt. Interst rates hit 20% killing all hopes of this. At Coober Pedy we rented a small 1925 dug dugout from a friend. My wife Glenys woud walk behind the bulldozer checking for opal traces by turning over the large rocks ripped up by the dozers rippers. This was quite exciting when we were digging up opal. The farming accident left me with a botched job by the doctor Pope in Adelaide I was laid up for nearly twelve months with my foot sticking straight out from leg. The opal mining was quite lucrative in helping us keep the farm. I started to write Opal Eggs Of Fire after a vivid dream one night. I published this with Xlibris ,which was a huge mistake, these people were thieves. The second book The Opal Dragon surfaced whe an Adelaide movie producer Mark Evans read my first book, He wanted a rewrite. Great White Shark tales came about from stories i had been told by my fatherinlaw and abalone divers. Some other interesting stories have been interspersed into this book. When i was laid up for a long time with the broken leg i watched many documentories about WW2. Bernado's Circus was built on these stories ​
