Читать книгу Watching - Jeff Edwards - Страница 3

My family and I have lived in the Penrith area for the past twenty-eight years and will soon be able to call ourselves ‘locals’.

I have served in the Australian Army as a signalman, for over two years in the CMF (Army Reserve) and for eighteen months as a National Serviceman. During my time in National Service, I trained at Watsonia in Melbourne and served at Army Headquarters in Canberra.

For the past decade I have been the proprietor of a business currently trading under the name AustPro, which is a Commercial Agency performing the leg-work for the legal industry. I have been a licensed Commercial Agent / Private Investigator for twenty years and prior to that, I was a public servant with the Sydney County Council.

I commenced my first business — the Nepean Commercial Agency on leaving the council and my wife still runs this company. (I am a silent partner.)

My hobbies include photography, woodwork and gardening. I am an avid reader of fiction as well as Australian and Ancient History, where I take particular delight in seeking out the more quirky aspects of history.

This is my first novel and it came about more by accident than intention; I sat down in a moment of boredom and wrote a few lines. After deciding that the few lines needed a further few lines of explanation, a novel was born.
