All stories here are for PRINT copies only and e-book copies are available from https://bookapy.com/a/3/ernest-bywater I also handle the publishing of the books for some friends on this site, because they don't want to do the work for them. So you'll see their names here. Born and bred in Sydney, Australia, in the mid 1950s and the youngest of three born to a local truck driver and a mother with an eye condition; She was totally blind before I went to school. I grew up in an environment where nothing breakable was left near a table edge. I spent a lot of time in the adult world acting as my mother's eyes; thus having a more adult view of the world than my peers. After leaving school at sixteen I worked at everything from door-to-door sales, law enforcement, to administration and management; earning many qualifications in my own time. I wrote many reports, financial reports, technical papers, and training papers for work. I've written many millions of words before I started writing stories for sale.
