Thomas Greenbank is a writer of gritty Australian fiction. GOLD, his debut novel, was a finalist in the respected 2020 Page Turner Awards. (https://pageturnerawards.com/writing-...) Greenbank’s writing draws deeply on his diverse background and professional experience. From years as a professional musician, factory worker, business owner, driver, ceramic artist and more—to 25 years as a full-time carer, there’s not much he hasn’t experienced. This diversity shows in his writing, as does his penchant for accuracy in research. Now semi-retired, Thomas lives south of Adelaide, South Australia, with his wife — #1 fan and biggest critic — Linda. When he’s not writing you’ll probably find them walking on a nearby beach. ...more

I believe that it’s sometimes difficult to get started on a book or a scene, but being totally blocked for days? Well, it hasn’t happened to me anyway.
If I feel unmotivated, I’ll just do something else for a while. Go fishing, take a long walk. Usually, before I know it, my subconscious mind has chipped in and the ideas start to trickle through. Then, I can’t get back home quickly enough!
Other than that, my advice is to just start writing anyway. I use a laptop computer, so the delete key is always there if it turns out to be crap. (I use it A LOT)(less)

It's actually a prequel that covers the life of my main character (and chief villain) as a child and how his father shaped the man he would become. Hint: Malcolm's father was not a nice guy either.(less)

What a way to end the year! Although it's not actually 2024 just yet, and I'm currently reading a light-weight Judy Nunn novel, I feel inclined to propose this tome as my last official read of 2023.

I really enjoyed Tajammul's stories. He has a gift for creating intriguing tales with twisty endings. Just the sort of thing I like. His writing is good, and will improve over time. I can't wait to read more from him in future. ...more

Warrior by Niki Danforth
Rate this book
Clear rating
It's always interesting to discover more about a book series and the characters.
In this case, the character is a dog. But don't let that put you off.
Warrior is not just unimportant backstory; it's also a glimpse into the writing style of Ms Danforth.

Aussie Readers: Gritty Family Saga Fiction set in Western Australia. 7 22 Jul 22, 2021 09:35PM  
Truman Capote
“Never love a wild thing, Mr. Bell,' Holly advised him. 'That was Doc's mistake. He was always lugging home wild things. A hawk with a hurt wing. One time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg. But you can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they're strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That's how you'll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky."
"She's drunk," Joe Bell informed me.
"Moderately," Holly confessed....Holly lifted her martini. "Let's wish the Doc luck, too," she said, touching her glass against mine. "Good luck: and believe me, dearest Doc -- it's better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear.”
Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Three Stories

Jane Austen
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

Groucho Marx
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
