New short story
Just had a new short story published in Then and Now, Seniors' Stories Volume 11 . While a piece of fiction, the story is inspired by my father, his days in the Malayan Emergency, and the memories of that experience that seemed to dominate the last months of his life. This one is for you, Dad. See more https://www.nsw.gov.au/community-services/seniors-card/seniors-stories . Photo of book: Nina M. Lee 2025
