    Kikkuli - a horseman who lived around 1345 BCE, who betrayed his country (Mitannia) to the Hittites.

    Holley - the 13th son of an impoverished Salvation Army father, who became a composer, trumpet player and conductor.

    My parents' lives and how they met in a bohemian artists' colony, and the consequences of their choices for each other.

    The Permaculture Institute - how it started with great green ideals but failed due to social & psychological dysfunction.

    The Hermes Group - a secretive cult that takes over a village - how its practices are discovered and how it eventually dies out with a whimper.

    A crime sleuthing mystery set in the endurance riding scene of the Aussie bush, with obscenely wealthy Arabs trying to buy the best horses.

    A modern day King Lear story dealing with the problems of dementia, greedy adult children and the aged care system.


    (There are four others in the pipeline. At 63, I have no idea whether I'll ever get them all written.)

    I don't have the patience to marshal the attention it would take to write a book.

    Someday I'm going to write
    The story of my life
    I'll tell about the night we met
    And how my heart can't forget
    The way you smiled at me
