I migrated from England to Australia with my wife shortly after we were married. We felt that Australia would give us, and any children we may have, the opportunity to achieve a satisfying and enjoyable life.
Like many migrants we arrived with very little money, however, we were luckier than some, as we were able to stay with my brother and his wife rather than starting off in a hostel.
We have never regretted our decision. Australia is a beautiful country and has a wonderful open society that offers those who are able the chance for success in many areas.
My first job was with a firm of accountants, and my wife worked as a stenographer until the first of our two lovely daughters arrived on the scene.
Later on, I joined a subsidiary of a Swedish Engineering Company, where I stayed until I retired.
During this time, I studied to qualify for a Bachelor of Business degree. It meant that my wife and daughters didn’t get to see a lot of me, and I’m forever grateful for their support.
After I retired, I decided that I would either learn to play the piano or write a novel. I chose a novel, thinking it would prove to be easier than learning scales, but now I’ve finished, I’m not so sure.
However, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing A League of Judges, and I hope it will give pleasure to others.
