A Lesson in Love

Sarah had bought herself a pub – by herself.

Miles from family and friends Sarah was about to learn what hard work really was, the building had seen better days and she was going to run the business by herself – a bit different to a small takeaway shop in a local suburb of Melbourne. What was she thinking?

Sarah was to find out how this small community pulled together and supported each other through good and bad. 

And how the love of a dog and one very infuriating man would change her world.

A Life of Breath

Jamie is a respiratory doctor working on the front line. After 12 months without catching the illness himself, he finally gets infected from an unlikely source.

He struggles to come to terms with his own first experiences of the breathlessness that has been the focus of his working life. He also has to reflect on his own potential mortality. Neither are a comfortable ride.

He has had a hugely successful 35-year career, which has taken him to the very top of his specialist field. At the same time, we meet the shy, gauche, and naïve first year doctor, who could never imagine, the achievements ahead. We read the disastrous, humorous, and unbelievable escapades, which mould his career, whilst realising that a successful personal life does not necessarily match, that of the career

The author believes the public has fallen out of love with their medical professionals and in writing this part biography, part fictional account of one doctor’s story, he hopes to put this right. You should laugh, cry and cringe in approximately equal doses, but you might not be able to look your own doctor squarely in the eye, with quite the same perspective, again.
