Serendipity brings Goorialla to life. Imagine that!

-
In my efforts to promote "Adios Goorialla", a screenplay I wrote recently, I sought a suitable writer to help me to novelize the storyline. 
Adios Goorialla  Kindle ebook

The result was astonishing for two reasons. 


 Firstly, after assessing a few candidates, I was very impressed with one in particular. She was deft in her control of the language, making me smile and shake my head while reading every email. So I appointed her and we began corresponding. Then suddenly, she wrote, "Are you the same Russell Jones that lived in Drummoyne a long time ago"? I quickly considered all the people in the long distant past named Louise. A couple we had a close acquaintance with 50 years ago had a child who they named "Louise". "Is that you?" I wrote back.
"Spot on Uncle Russell" She answered.

Secondly, although we have never caught up face to face as yet, modern communication has allowed us to collaborate to produce a book together. And I'm thrilled with the result."Adios Goorialla is now available as a Kindle ebook version and as a paperback.
Meanwhile Louise, an English tutor, is writing a student study guide, by her own volition, with a view to advancing it as a study book.
Imagine that!

 Synopsis: In a dark, dark, cave on a secret, sacred island, in the middle of a lake, in the middle of Australia…
Russell Jones’ screenplay and Lou Preston’s novelization bring the Australian Outback to life – its unforgiving landscape and characters alike.
A thrilling tale of what happens when things go wrong, and the hand of Conspiracy offers a tempting, but chilling, way out.

"I still keep in touch with the Bandstand family. I guess I talk to most of them. When I talk about Sandy Scott, Little Pattie and Judy Stone and Brian Henderson , I speak to them probably once or twice a week. It's still a family. That family thing is still there. The entertainment industry is a very strange fraternity. Even though a lot of times you don't see a lot of people for maybe 12 months, I have a group of people that are very close friends".   Source: A recent ATN 7 interview. Col Joye, is an Australian popular entertainer and entrepreneur. Joye was the first Australian rock and roll singer to have a number one record Australia-wide, and experienced a string of chart successes in the early Australian rock and roll scene.

"Exploring the Surreal: Earth's Ascent in Abstract"

Happy Jan 1 2024! I suppose like most people I have promised myself some self control and purpose, and therefore, I have changed direction of my art. I hope you like it: My latest piece of art takes a departure from the ordinary, offering a surreal landscape that turns our gaze upward as Earth rises against an imaginary backdrop. Amidst this cosmic scene, abstract bird shapes navigate an otherworldly landscape, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. In this latest creation, I aim to take viewers on a visual journey that challenges preconceived notions of reality. Earth's ascent, accompanied by abstract bird shapes in an imaginary landscape, serves as an exploration into the uncharted territories of artistic expression. This piece is an invitation to contemplate the interconnectedness of the tangible and the intangible, encouraging a deeper dive into the boundless realms of imagination.
