ABOUT

AUTHOR

In Stories from the Heart, Greg Keynes, best-selling author of The Flying Bushman, returns with a new gripping collection of stories about life experiences in the outback, as if you were across the kitchen table. It’s hard work and pleasure and pain a plenty, with liberal doses of humor to get the job done.

Greg re-examines his own life experiences as a non-fiction memoir writer, but doesn’t just tell personal stories, allowing himself to view his life’s tales through a critical lens and objectively identifies moments of growth and or trauma that contribute to who he is as a person.

FLYING BUSHMAN

Stories from the Heart

Greg Keynes – The Flying Bushman, Stories from the Heart.

From the author of the bestselling title: The Flying Bushman: The Australian Story of life above the Land.
The subtitle says it all, really – these stories come straight from the heart of a man who loves his native country, fellow Australians, and his life as a bushman/stockman. They are accounts of humanity in a harsh environment, difficulties overcome, and humour in any situation. Greg’s stories cover relationships between people and their animals, and some remarkable feats of animal tenacity, such as dogs taking total responsibility for stock even when they are not under the scrutiny of their master. The straightforward writing style makes for ease of reading, and reflects the honesty and realism in these true-life tales. Greg’s adventures, not only in Australia, but also during a sojourn to Europe as a young man, are universal in appeal; be prepared to smile, wonder and enjoy…

TESTIMONIALS

“Greg Keynes has done a magnificent job in putting the memories of his tough, eventful and fascinating life into print and it is a book that is not easy to put down. He has fitted his life stories (and there are a lot) into a book that people will find totally fascinating. His memories are accurately recalled and recorded and provide an insight of life in the real Australian bush (travelling long distances on poor roads, isolation and the difficulties associated with living far from the comforts many of us are accustomed to). From home schooling, leaving home at nine and a half to attend a Hale school in the city (originally knowing no one) and leaving after a successful secondary school life, working on the land, flying a mustering helicopter (and suffering subsequent serious injuries) and running his own business; it is all there. Well told and well-remembered. It is worth a read.”

The author is an outback Australian bushman, born and bred and conveys that amazing experience directly to the reader as if you were there

I am not usually a fan of memoirs, finding they tend to be a little self-indulgent or dramatic. Greg has managed to get his story across in a typical Aussie fashion – realistic, factual, honest, but with the ability to poke fun at himself and the situations he describes. His writing style is clean and straight-forward, easy to read, and draws the reader along effortlessly…”
