About this ebook
The Maverick's Roundup is the story of a man who overcame debilitating illness and poor education to follow the Call of God across three States of Australia.
Bruce travelled as an itinerate preacher amongst the Aboriginal camps along the bank of the River Murray as it meandered through South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Bruce faced many life threatening situations.
He observed, 'Fear is a warning system that God has built into us. We can walk in faith and still have the daylights scared out of us. A man is a fool if he is not careful.' The fact that Bruce is alive today is evidence that he exercised care even though trembling within.
As an ordained Pastor, Bruce continued to work from an open toolbox as a Jack-of-all-Trades. His motto was to reach the man in the street just as his Biblical counterpart Paul did in New Testament times.

My writing life is like a rainbow cake – layer upon layer. The first layer was compiling the church news-letter. It was illustrated, and newsy. No church news-letter was ever like it. Then came the journalistic layer. Great heights were reached with an article in the Women’s Weekly and working as a journalist for the local newspaper, The Transcontinental. There were farming and gardening magazines included in that layer. The biography layer came next. Three biographies were self-published. Several other short biographies written. It is so interesting and necessary to record people’s stories for history’s sake. Like cream between the layers I practised the art of short story writing. The present layer is blogging. I have a blog site and it covers my writing life from short stories, journalistic articles, photography, and anything that demands to be written and read. I love this writing life.
