Forrest was educated in Edinburgh, Scotland. He became an Assisted Passage Emigrant to Australia in 1951. Following the building trade in Queensland, he was soon tagged with the name Jock. Interested in sport, success on the soccer field led to years of him coaching. As a senior club coach, writing, speaking, and performing at club seminars encouraged an overall interest in writing a programmed agenda. Married and raising four children offered little time to pursue further activity.
In retirement, Jock managed to enjoy writing short stories as a hobby. Senior years' interest in writing introduced him to the management of the local library manager, a person who had known him in earlier years as a football club coach. In 2006, 'Caboolture Writers Link' was born. He was elected chairman and remained in charge of this very successful library writers' group over the next ten years. Jock continued writing short stories as part of the writers' group's monthly exercise agenda and, in later years, found further interest in extending one of his short story efforts to create the fictional story Echoes of Alcheringa. Postcard for a Dead Ringer is the second book written by C. J. Forrest.view less
