    SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 ACT BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDAfter 50 years as an Australian diplomat, UN official, intelligence analyst, academic and company director working in and on the Middle East, Bob Bowker enjoys unique insights into the challenges, professional and personal, of representing Australia in the Arab world. In this occasionally light-hearted professional memoir, revealing something of the person behind the diplomat, he sets out his views and reflections on major Middle East issues and into what makes diplomacy in the Arab world effective.He also captures the complexity, the drama, the ambiguity and sometimes the absurdity of certain situations he faced as an Australian ambassador in the Arab world:-A sacked local staff member in Syria was found to be an informer for the secret police.-Overnight, a shipload of Australian sheep became Bulgarian.-A judge in Sudan successfully prosecuted his own case in a murder trial.-As demonstrators hurled stones and bottles toward his office, women in his microenterprise program in Gaza sold soft drinks to the crowd.Praise for Tomorrow There will be Apricots:Professor the Hon Gareth Evans AC QC, Australian Foreign Minister 1988-96An evocative account by one of Australia's most accomplished diplomats of the highs and lows, rewards and frustrations, delights and stresses of diplomatic life-not least, it seems, in working with their Ministers. But also a deeply thoughtful analysis of the multiple geopolitical challenges the Middle East continues to pose, charting possible ways forward in writing that is often provocative but always stimulating. Two books for the price of one-and both eminently worth the purchase.Nick Warner AO PSM, former Director of the Office of National Intelligence, Director General of ASIS, Secretary of the Department of Defence, and Australian Ambassador to Iran.The Middle East matters to Australia, and we have been lucky in recent decades to have a group of exceptional diplomats dedicate their careers to understanding the region. Bob Bowker has been the dean of this group. His important book throws light on the history of our relationship with the Middle East, where we have gone wrong and right, and what we should do now.Professor the Hon Bob Carr, Australian Foreign Minister 2012-13.As Foreign Minister I grew to admire the razor-sharp insights of our best diplomats. It was an education and a pleasure to read their cables and savour their briefings. Bob Bowker in his memoirs delivers deep knowledge matched with sound judgement not least in his appraisal of the Arab world and, among other things, its relationship with Israel and the Israeli rule of the 4.5 million Palestinians in the occupied territories. All our best diplomats should write books like this.Professor Amin Saikal AM FASSA, Founding Director of the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies, ANUDr Bowker has combined the skills, experiences and nuances of a very seasoned diplomat and academic analyst to produce a fascinating memoir. More than a story of his successful journey through the minefields of Arab politics and society, it is also a very enriching intellectual analysis of various tensions and conflicts that continue to shape the Arab world. The volume is a must read for not only policy and opinion makers, but also for students of the Middle East.

    SET IN A HISTORIC INSTITUTION IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF SYDNEY...A work of fiction, where reality has been severely exaggerated with a mere occasional glimpse of the harsh truth. Donald has been unceremoniously thrust into the psychiatric hospital microcosm and while he is a smart, yet reluctant, anti-hero, trying to come to some sort of understanding of his odd situation; Donald didn't really think his life had been going so badly given this fresh perspective. He had, however, never in his entire life been quite so completely, absolutely and undeniably wrong. Granted this situation would be a very unusual situation for most people, and it is also, probably, a seriously cliched one for a comedic, semi-autobiographical, semi-fantastical, but oh-so-very-close-to-reality semi-whimsical yarn... For this lone man, Donald Halfbrain, it was going to be:Story Defining... Life Changing... Legend Creating..."e;A cracker of humour and dry oddity that makes for an Australian classic from the start...what a mind this author has invited us to share! The Monty Python crew would be so proud of this one!"e; Anthony, Indiebook reviewer

  • - The story of life and death on six big emigrant ships

    This is the account of what took place on the Death Ships during the journey to the colonies...In 1851, the discovery of gold in Australia had a huge and almost immediate impact on the colonies, as many went to seek their fortune. Shiploads of gold seekers sailed in from the United Kingdom and from around the world. Melbourne was inundated and thus became the world's busiest port...In the colonies, industry and commerce came to a halt. The mills in Lancashire were forced to close due to a lack of Australian wool. And a desperate call was made to Britain for replacement labour...British authorities located suitable emigrants, but normal transport ships were no longer available. Many ships were engaged in making money transporting gold seekers to Australia, while others lay abandoned in Port Phillip following desertion by the crew.Out of Liverpool, the solution emerged.Six very large North American-built ships became accessible; Wanata, Beejapore, Marco Polo, Shackamaxon, Ticonderoga and Bourneuf. They were quickly commissioned and departed in 1852 with nearly 5000 passengers on board.This is the account of what took place on each vessel during the journey to the colonies..."A work of veritable integrity and valued history that needed to be recorded concisely and honestly. A great piece of work..." Richard, Indiebook Reviewer.

But between her parent's antics and the mysterious creatures that keep turning up, 'normal' is not happening for her.

On a family holiday to Cornwall, Darcy discovers there is a task before her and it is hers alone; one that challenges her ideas about the world and more so, about herself. In exploring the strange happenings, Darcy becomes trapped in an alternate world where the rules are vastly different from those she knows. Sent on a journey by a stranger, Darcy begins to understand that being true to herself is more important than 'fitting in', and friends can be made in the most unlikely of places. She realises her physical journey is to find a way back home; yet her emotional discovery is to value real love, true loss and the knowing of the right things; this is the hardest path for Darcy to travel..."A coming-of-age story blended with wonderous and enlightening places and beings that create an overall tale of enjoyment that Lewis Carroll himself would love...well done on this exceptional book and I do look forward to continuing the story with Darcy soon..."

    "This was not the path I had chosen. It was picked for me, and I was forced to walk down its narrow line. It is not something I will accept; it is not something I will submit to. I will fight it, and I will overcome it. What will you do?"This place was familiar, in a way, somewhat recognisable but still as abnormal as it always was. The white tree in the middle of the lake glowed brightly, on one of the branches, sat a figure cloaked in darkness. The dark consumed and nullified the light. It was difficult to make out what it was, but it was monstrous. Large wings erupted from the back of the dark figure. A tail uncoiled itself and writhed between the branches. The dark figure scowled down at him. When it spoke, the very air seemed to quake and shiver with each word…ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rufin De Villiers is a passionate and intelligent writer who grew up on a small farm in the country with a canvas that was always vast and open to his every daydream. His head always filled with imaginary worlds, sometimes for fun, sometimes for escapism, always hoping to one day share them with readers and those who loved fantasy as much as he does. He has been writing stories ever since he could read, and has no plans to stop."An enlightening and unnerving thrill ride into the fantastical world of true imagination…A wonderful read to be thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who loves dragons and mythical adventures…Tolkien would be a fan…" Jeremy, IndieBooks Reviewer.
