I was asked to provide a short article for the Queensland Austin Car Club magazine about my husband's Folly! Andrew is a aficcionado of English cars. Before this drama, he owned and still has a 1959 Austin Farina A40, a 1953Austin AS3 (a work in non-progress) and a long-wheel-based, Land Rover Series 3 4WD. Thought some of the car-mad enthusiasts on the site might get a laugh out of this. It's already forwarded to the mag and they've accepted it!

Summary:

All Sam Champion wants is to earn an honest dollar - or if it's a little less than honest, so be it. He has converted what was once a space passenger liner into a cargo ship and takes on any job that comes his way - as long as it pays well enough. When his team are called on to fight, they are the ones leaving clouds of cosmic dust in the wake of their retreat. So far things have gone smoothly but if Sam thinks he has hoodwinked the establishment, he has another think coming. (although she is not such a regular to this site. I have to thank MDodson for the inspiration)

This is the second part of the memoir I have written for a HUGE competition sponsored by the Brisbane City Council (southeast Queensland, Australia) I had to cut it in half as the site will only let you post 5000 words at a time. The criteria is that it has to be set in Brisbane and it can be fiction or non-fiction, 4000-6,000 words. The top ten stories will be put into an anthology of the city and into circulation in the city libraries.

This memoir is being written for a HUGE competition sponsored by the Brisbane City Council (southeast Queensland, Australia. It can be fiction or non fiction, 4000-6,000 words long and MUST be set in Brisbane. This part 1 is almost 3000 words long, so I have had to cut it into two to go on the site. I would be most grateful for constructive criticism. I have to get it RIGHT !!!! "Singlet" is another word for "vest" or undergarment.
