About the Book

Expressions of love come in many forms. For Geoffrey Hannah such expressions surely focus (for all the world might know) on the manipulation of wood and its transformation into masterpieces of grand proportions: to either honour lives; or perhaps elsewise satisfy the desires (and often specific requirements) of lovers of finely constructed purpose-built, Australian-made furniture. Nonetheless planted firmly in his thoughts is the wife of more than half a century, the love of his life (or certainly good proportion of it), Rhonda. Of course never to be forgotten in the love stakes are his children, and members of his family (past and present). Still mention must be made of the fact a baby was relinquished by a mother at Ventura Hospital (in Coraki) in the 50s, with knowledge of this remaining a well-kept secret until the child discovers tell-tale pieces of paper in a tin of private documents as a seventeen-year old knockabout larrikin well-versed in the vernacular. Mostly a bloke of action and jovial loquacity (and never an embarrassingly deficient recollector of names), Geoffrey Hannah now endeavours to put aside his tools of trade for a few hours each week so as to wholeheartedly detail his exuberance for all the loves of his life through his most unfavoured medium: the written word. A hopeless romantic at heart, Meg Heggen gives voice to a most 'unlikely' bloke, weaving Hannah's words, life and loves into a heart-warming and spirited yarn blessed by Renaissance ideals, values and proportions.
About the Author: Having accomplished the authoring and publication of four prior auto/ biographical works (Impressions on a Qwerty Keyboard; What Next? The Suffering Hopes of a Thursday's Child; Smacked Out and Loving You All the Time: The Odyssey of a Typewriter Girl; and The Perfect Ribbing: A Relational Memoir) as a perceptive and thoughtful writer born & bred in Sydney, educated at Fort Street GHS, Honours graduate of Southern Cross University (2009) and intrepid traveler of southern Asia over a string of years, Meg Heggen's fifth & most thoroughly-researched book is loaded with humour and the Australian vernacular yet realised as a rewardingly touching tale in its scope and artistic appeal.
