Autor Barbara Gurney
en Limba Engleză Paperback

Barbara Gurney's award-winning stories sit on an easel of storytelling, within a collection of multicoloured work. From 'Purple', a powerful story of the lasting effects of meningococcal, through shades of pink, white, silver and the bleakest of black, to 'By Darkened Shore', where the struggle for independence is won.

Notă biografică

PERTH-BASED Barbara Gurney's writing has been described as lyrical with strong narrative. Often news items influence her poems while over-heard life experiences are hidden in longer works. She says, 'I'm fascinated by the impact history has on people's lives - both of country and of family. I also believe there are some spiritual, or supernatural, aspects of the world which are constantly in the background, waiting to affect our lives.'She joined Gosnells Writer's Circle in 2008 & Writefree Women's Writing Group at the KSP Writers' Centre in 2009 and values the shared knowledge and friendships.Since 2009, her work has been recognised in several competitions and anthology selections: local, nationally and internationally - both short stories and poetry. In her non-writing life Barbara has been a drummer, bagpiper, swimmer, secretary and a debt collector - amongst other boring nouns. An unusual 'claim to fame': In the 1960's, she defeated Bon Scott of AC/DC in a snare drumming competition prior to his notoriety. Barbara retains a program and medal as provenance.Barbara likes nothing better than to tap away on the computer, creating stories worth remembering, enjoying the challenge of crafting characters and emotional storylines - most likely of the every-day person. And, be warned, the unconscious creative voices haven't finished with her yet!
