Tales.
Ian has always enjoyed writing. He feels that he can spin a yarn in the true Australian tradition.
The HSC markers disagreed.
Two years later, Ian had an afternoon free, but more importantly a notepad, pen, an idea and somewhere quiet to write. After a couple of hours, nobody was more surprised than he to discover that many of the pages now had been scribbled on in a coherent manner.
This story metamorphosed into the basis for Ian's first novel after he visited Berlin for the first time.
Whilst working at Manly Council, his boss asked him to document some of his daily and periodic work processes. To date, many reports and other documents Ian has prepared have been routinely circulated up to CIO level. These are obviously company-specific and non-reproducable here, but if you head over to the Z!nglish page, you will get an idea.
A trilogy of stories for boys, aged 8-12, originally entitled Our New Ambulance. The second of which, A New Kind of Normal received a 'highly commended' award for the inaugural Paperback in your Hand competition.
His novel manuscript, Don't You Know Who I Am? has chapters available for perusal.
In a twist of mutual creativity, a play Ian wrote : Double Jeopardy, was extended to become a full hour-long production, The Emperor's Seal. Ian was asked to write a theme song for it - Mortar Life introduced the play at its one and only performance on Good Friday, 2004.
