About the Book

These short stories from New Zealand originated as submissions to a Writing Club. They are based on the author's experiences growing up and living in the South Island of New Zealand. New Zealand is a small English speaking independent nation situated in the South Pacific Ocean 1200 miles East of Australia. It is a little larger than the UK, and about the same size as the State of Colorado. I hope that the readers of this book may be motivated to join the millions of tourists who visit New Zealand and appreciate all that a vacation in this country can offer.
About the Author: Owen Barron is the third son of parents who emigrated to New Zealand from England. He was born and attended elementary school in Picton which is a small town at the Northern tip of the South Island. It is the southern terminal of the frequent ferry service from Wellington (the capital city) in the North Island. After five years secondary education in the nearby large town of Blenheim, Owen moved to Christchurch, the major city of the South Island, where he graduated as at a Pharmacist and established a Community Dispensing Pharmacy catering for the medical needs of his district. Upon retirement he attended several courses on writing at the University of Canterbury. He has published two other books. The first entitled "SHIPS AND SEALING WAX" is an autobiography and family history. The second called "PHARMACY PRACTICE and PRACTISING PHARMACISTS" is a history of the profession in New Zealand during the 20th Century with monographs of a number of the men and women who operated pharmacies in the Province of Canterbury. Owen is married to Nola who is one of New Zealand's most respected ceramic artists. She was director of the City's Centre of Contemporary Arts Gallery for ten years prior to her retirement. They have three sons and three Grandchildren. In addition to writing, Owen's interests include- Boating, Fishing, Photography, Lawn Bowls and Computers. He is a life-long competitive sailor having owned a series of yachts from international sailing dinghies, culminating in ocean going cruising/racing yachts. Owen and Nola have travelled widely; to the Pacific Islands, U S A, China, Japan, Europe, Great Britain, and Scandinavia.
