Bernie's comments,
I am a Lawnton writer and journalist, and I would like to be a professional author, but you will still see me travelling to work each day.
I have written non fiction works including a history of the Pine Rivers Show called Showtime and Towards Peace _ a Worker’s Journey , and Phil O’Brien’s autobiography which I edited and contributed supplementary material.
I have for sale 15 copies of 7 Shouts which comprises seven years of my newspaper column with an introduction by Olympian Jess Schipper and cartoons by Daniel Anderson. This collectors’ edition has quite a few typos due to production pressures. From the proceeds, I plan to produce a typo-free second edition next year. If you buy a copy of 7 Shouts, you will not only get a giggle or two, you will support another local literary project.
For a copy send a cheque of money order for $25 (including $5 postage and handling) to Bernie Dowling, 24 Lorraine Court, Lawnton.
Check out my award-winning short story Words in The Writing on the Wall anthology, on sale through AAPR or at the Pine Rivers Art Gallery, 199 Gympie Rd, Strathpine.
I am also the owner of a publishing ``hut’’ Bent Banana Books.
