David J. Delaney's autobiographical profile: Featured Australian poet and author

Special to The Canadian

  David J. Delaney
 

David J. Delaney.

I am a former Brisbane boy but now currently live and work in Cairns with my very patient, and darling wife, I sometimes wonder where I get the time to write but always seem to manage to pen something also I am a member Tropical writers group Cairns, Arts nexus Cairns & Australian Bush Poets Association

Having had no formal education in writing and now into my 50's, I wanted to show that someone like myself without higher schooling could write and enjoy it. For me school, (when I was there) was a place to 'hang out' with my mates and I actually only completed 3 months of high school before leaving at the age of 15.

After numerous jobs throughout my youth I eventually moved into Furniture Removals where I stayed for approximately 25 years. For 17 of these, my wife and I operated our own removal business, and was able to travel extensively throughout N.S.W and Queensland.

Since leaving the removal industry several years ago and having some 'thinking' time, my experiences, memories of driving the highways and tracks, the vast and beautiful outback, my wife, daughters, grand children and family, stories from mates, work colleagues and close war veterans have given me the inspiration for my writings.

  David's Books
   

The release of my 1st book My small book of poems in May 2007 has been one incredible step for me. The size of my book was purposely done to gauge the reaction of the public. Despite not being proof read and having mistakes the response was both humbling and amazing, with comments from the likes of John Williamson, Mel from Sunrise, Steve Ahmet from Easylistening 846, Pat Morrish of Far North ABC Radio and many others & including sales to the U.S, U.K, Ireland, Japan & more. This has inspired me to keep writing and in March 2008 released my 2nd volume Rhymes of Times.

Both my books are available from, LINK, or directly through me, please contact me for details info@davidjdelaney.com. Below is some of the feedback I have received.

Quotes:

Steven Lawrence Hill Sr: "President & CEO ASA Publishing co. Michigan, U.S.A. "Dave, our pleasure to have your wonderful poetry stocked on our shelves, looking forward to many more volumes."

John Williamson: "It was great to read your stories and to hear, like me, that are enjoying putting your pictures into words?"

Steve Ahmet, Easy listening 846, from my live interview: "Fantastic book from a local Cairns poet."
