Each task was a privilege. I learnt about country New Zealand, many years ago. One time the person facing a premature death was quite young and just wanted letters written for each of her children to receive when they turned 21. That was sad. One person I really enjoyed was Quin Turton. He had been a country cop in New Zealand and had many funny, sometimes sad, sometimes tragic experiences, to document. He was facing the end of his life and agreed I could share his memories with other people. Hence I wrote "Memories of a Community Cop". Through this writing journey, I have met many interesting people and continue to enjoy the writers of all genres who gather to critique, discuss or encourage local authors.view less
