working in the Outback of Australia.</div> <div> The two stories, on "Claude the Crow" were of my time living in Sydney, about how a family of crows adopted me for awhile.</div> <div> I have over 50 stories already written and in time will load them and new stories to this page.</div> <div> I started writing these short stories, to give my mother a laugh, while sitting in front of the fire, i would create a few paragraphs, then hand her the papers.</div> <div> Just give her a couple of minutes and she would smile.</div> <bR> <div> Each of these stories is based on part truths, most of the ideas came events in my past and from the blokes in the "Outback"</div> <bR> <div> The Stories are copyrighted to me, but please do pass on this website to your friends.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV>
