Writing it Right!
My first book was published in 1984.
Since that year to 2024, numerous articles and a further 13 books have been written, compiled and published in Australia, the United States of America and in Poland.
From 15 May 1993 to 18 June 1994, I was a Columnist with the Bundaberg News-Mail in Queensland where I compiled and authored Family Branches – a very popular genealogy and family history column.
