Gordon Smith – Story Teller

I spent most of his life in sales, public transport and Traffic Management.

After retiring to Queensland’s Sunshine Coast in 2014, I took in interest in researching my family. I discovered links back to the 1400’s and even a distant link to the Royal Family of United Kingdom.

During my research I discovered I had 6 relatives who fought in the Great War. I was familiar, with my relatives in the 2nd World War, but knew nothing about the men in his family who had fought in the Great War.

This research led me to write his first book “A Family That Went to War”

After I published the book I realised that this was not enough, so I settled down and commenced writing “An Australian Story – The saga of an Australian Family over two centuries”

In this I have included the stories of Australia’s early settlement and of the events that made Australia and the makings of a family.

I was amazed that I could write three books in less than 12 months, particularly as only recently I discovered that he had mild dyslexia all his life.

My Third book “The Ministry Communications Unit” is pure fiction based on a fictitious movie company set up by the Government during World War 2.

I have completed my latest book Lady at Bromfield
