Amateur Fisherman

The wisdom of hindsight along with superb storytelling, brings to life the nostalgia of being a child in the sixties and the thrills, spills and horrors of living dangerously in the seventies. Future events and adventures intertwine Ron's account of childhood. There is political, religious and social opinion voiced, while exploring the inner working of the male mind at a time when the music was real and the world moved to a different beat. A brief but cathartic examination around the breakdown in one of Australia's largest Pentecostal churches in the 1990's brings to light unchecked natural emotions and worldly power plays. Using a bit of poetic licence this loquacious prose unveils the thoughts, imaginations, actions and intimacies of real relationships. It is a humorous, dark, hopeful and informative tale.
