MC with 'Legs'

 

Herewith some general information about my memoirs. Links are provided in the summaries for further info.

I have recently transferred publishing rights to myself from Ant Press for all my books. The links below are for the eBooks and I suggest if you would like to purchase a paperback copy of any of these books (as ‘modeled’ on the right) in Australia please contact me directly (oneofitslegs@gmail.com). The relevant book page on Amazon also has a forward link for the paperback versions – just to the right of where the Kindle click link is.

 

One of its Legs are Both the Same

In brief, Legs centers on my time living in a deserted fruit-pickers’ cottage in the southern highlands of NSW through the 1970s. The story it tells is one of changing and turbulent times and facing personal challenges until eventually discovering that ‘feel the serenity’ really is a thing. An homage to times, places and people now past, Legs is also a reassessment of how I got to be who I am from someone who was only recently diagnosed with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder.

A Pocket Full of Days

This is a two part memoir that is ‘sorta, kinda’ the sequel to Legs, but which tells it’s own story about my relationship with Jo, a young woman I had an on and off again relationship over twenty five years. It’s a tale of a pair of Hansel and Gretel misfits and a classic story of ‘can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em’. Dramatic comedy or comedic drama, take your pick, but definitely very real.

An Ordinary Boy… mostly

Cover for 'An ordinary boy... mostlyA memoir that is both an homage and an honest recollection of being a kid growing up in Wollongong on the south coast of N.S.W. during the 1950s and 1960s. Part 1 centers on the ‘big, pink place on the bend’ that was home through most of that period. Light-hearted in the main, Boy also doesn’t shy away from some brutal truths. Part 2 is due to be published early next year (2025).
