About this ebook
Richard J. Atkinson
I, Richard J. Atkinson, was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, on February 5, 1948—a post-WWII baby. I went to schools in Brisbane and attended the University of Queensland, where I was awarded a BA Dip. Ed. I later was awarded a Grad. Dip. Ed. (computer education). I became a full-time teacher after two years of national service as a flight lieutenant in the RAAF. For the next thirty-four years, I taught math, English, economics, and computing subjects. In 2003 I retired from full-time work. I travelled extensively and worked casually as a relief teacher on call. I married in 1975 and had a daughter in 1982. She has illustrated my book. She gave us our first grandchild, a boy, in 2011. During my semiretirement, I developed a desire to write and wrote a novel about a world consisting only of women—my wife is still in the process of typing it up. As I travelled through the many schools I served, I observed many posters of animals and developed the idea for Animal Pursuits. After two years of editing and reediting after consultation with an assessor and some valued friends, I have arrived at the completed manuscript.
