Thirty entertaining and mostly humorous short stories comprising life experiences in which we can all relate. It reminds us that every day in our life is a unique experience and will not always be a bunch of roses. As you will find in this book there will be stories of good times, and times to laugh about. On other occasions there will be earthquakes in our life-but also hope. The writer draws on experiences in New Zealand, Zambia, Thailand, England, Scotland, Switzerland, and Australia to write entertaining stories often with a surprise twist. He captures the dramatic moments in September and February when Christchurch, New Zealand was rocked by two large earthquakes. The author was nearby a six-storey building which collapsed entombing 113 occupants.
"An avid short story reader, I thought these were brilliant and must be published. The stories are not only told by Brian but are Brian, reflecting his witty sometime subtle sense of humour and play on words. They are naturally thought provoking."

Über den Autor / die Autorin
As a friend and former workmate, I have known Brian for over thirty years. We have shared some of the same interests such as tramping in the New Zealand Southern Alps and a passion for serving our workmates as workplace delegates.Brian has accounting and management qualifications and an MA(honours) in psychology and has used this knowledge to good advantage in his work and personal life.After Brian retired, I expected him to do the usual things such as lawn bowling and gardening. I never expected him to write books. Brian's first four books were well written short stories using his experiences in life such as the Christchurch earthquakes, mountain adventures and overseas travel through the Pacific, Europe and Asia. Brian has now also written four novels and with ten grandchildren has also found time to write three children's books.I am very impressed with how his writing style has developed in these novels.Andrew Thirringwebsite: brian-d-wilson.com
