Mr Meeks and the Family Bubble
Mr Meeks is a “little” OCD, and very set in his ways, everything he does has a set routine, any deviating from the routine caused great anxiety, much to his annoyance.
Mr Meeks spent most of his adult life taking care of his elderly parents; when they died, he was left on his own, and that was just the way he liked it.
…Until he met a young damsel in distress one evening, after he had consumed a few alcoholic beverages. Little did he know, but his whole life was about to be turned on its head.
He found himself in very strange waters, hardly able to recognise himself.
Suddenly, he was living in a full house and enjoying the noise, having fun, and enjoying the laughter, being confrontational on someone else’s behalf, and enjoying the responsibility, loving others, and loving the feeling.
This is a story one of emotional rollercoasters, huge surprises, shock revelations, some sadness, childhood sweethearts and, above all, love.

Mundane Insurance
Manufacturing industries are a common knowledge as are the likes of the motor car, television, foodstuffs and electrical goods that exist around us every day and are forcefully advertised. Banking too but it is only true to a lesser degree regarding insurance because if canvasing the average person in the street about insurance they would think only about their life insurance, health insurance, motor cover, house and contents, pet plan insurance and so on. Put like that, it is all very wearisome and therefore hardly a subject worth writing about, or is it? That was certainly the author’s impression of insurance even up to the point of moving into the financial sector from manufacturing industry.
Pursuing the subject a step further, hazarding a guess, if those very same people were quizzed regarding the types of people they imagined are employed in insurance they would probably describe their insurance broker or simply a voice at an insurance call centre. This account therefore will, in all probability, dispel the notion that all insurance dealings are routine and in the main, predictable as did an international group of young insurance delegates at a Middle East seminar, many of whom were totally unaware that the insurance industry’s activities were so diverse.

My Parents' Daughter
The mob bullying of an accomplished and expert senior secondary English teacher and Co-ordinator in a Victorian state school in Australia is re-told in My Parents’ Daughter giving a vivid insight into the hellish world of its victim. This first part of Victoria Hartmann’s Memoir is about workplace bullying by her four male principals, plus others, in the new millennium. This otherwise dark theme is re-told with good humour. Victoria’s intention is for her reader to laugh a lot outwardly but be moved inwardly to further discussions about this sinister blight on our democracies; perhaps even be moved to action and further the cause.
It shows how Victoria’s employer – the Department of Education, plus associated bodies, dealt with Victoria’s injuries and complaints. It questions accountability and equity or rather the lack there of. This memoir tackles head on psychological bullying and spot lights the notion that authority does not equate to honesty thus our need for external checks on governmental power brokers. The memoir’s intention is to enlighten and demands justice and change leading to prevention. It is a courageous effort by a courageous woman who owes everything to her genetics and upbringing. Please note that all names are fictitious but the content word for word true.
