Family Stories & Memoir
'The Chaotic Years: Conversations with a Gnome' by Laurie Maddison
It is every parent’s dread that their offspring, no matter what their conscientious parent’s advice, will be
influenced into experimenting with drugs once they start spreading their wings.
Their age, social status, which school they attended or what friends they have has no bearing on what seems to be the unavoidable introduction to ‘grass’ (cannabis), methamphetamines (speed and ice), heroin or cocaine. In the spur of the moment, they will disregard the warnings given and the dangers inherent in using them.
This is the story of Ruth who, after years of refusing to believe her son David would be dim-witted enough to succumb to pressure of a social group, finally acknowledges he had done
so and so begins a time of deep reflection, a time she shares with a Gnome.
“Before, you are wise;
after, you are wise;
In-between you are otherwise.”
- David Zindell, Neverness 1988

Reviews:
"...what a great read. I absolutely loved it. Thankyou so very much." - Ian.
"G’day Jim. Just finished you book. Well done! I knew your old man was a lot of fun. Didn’t realise what a pioneering larrikin though!" - Pat.
"Right from the start, I was immersed in 'Norm's' life from his origins as a Sydney lad and an early passion for flying to his return to Australia without the hero's welcome. This true-life story has it all - action, humour, suspense and a touch of romance. I don't normally read military memoirs but this one was a page-turner from start to finish. " - Amazon review.

'Moving to Chulsa' by Rob Craggs
Funny, a little frightening but forever optimistic life would ‘shower him with love,’ Rob’s memoir has much to give. A mixed-race lad in a working-class family growing up in the sixties on a housing estate in south-east London; life definitely had its challenges. Rob’s young life experienced more than its fair share of characters, many of them broken but there was also love, sometimes in unexpected places. While Rob struggled to come to terms with his identity, to know just where he belonged, he finally finds his place among his mates in Chulsa Oak.
