Graeme Bourke

In 1985 Graeme took up fly fishing in Tasmania and during this journey he kept a diary which was used to produce his first non-fiction book "Come Fly Fish With Me," which has now been put up as an ebook. This book received wide acclaim from the fly fishing fraternity. He then completed a correspondence course on writing and began writing articles for sporting and travel magazines. In 2008 he published his second book on fishing "If Only The World Would Go Fishing." His main ambition was to write fiction, so in 2010 he published "Hawkins' Grove" which has also been converted to an ebook. These three books are available in hard copy from "Window on the World" bookshop in Ulverstone, Tasmania. Mountain Pride, The Ghost Ship,The Gates of Hell and The House of Dreams are only available as ebooks. In June of 2014 Graeme uploaded the first book in his trilogy "The Orphan and the Shadow Walker: The Awakening" the feedback has been very positive. Sales from the second and third book have been encouraging. An Ancient Warrior is his most recent fiction novel. Graeme writes book reviews for a local newsletter and from the these he has compiled the best of these reviews.

  On reading the first chapter I was immediately drawn into the story. While the story has potential I found it confusing as it tended to lose its ebb and flow with too many scene changes.

  Finally, someone who has the literay merit to write a good erotic story with an intriguing ending.

  I am a writer with over twenty years experience in non-fiction, fiction, and I have written for magazines. I also critique books for a local magazine so I have good knowledge of what is required as a writer. You asked for feedback so here it is. The first line, the first paragraph or first page is critical for a reader and your first lines would not get past any editor looking at your work. You are pushing your character, Hamilton onto the readers rather than easing him into their minds. I think those readers who have given you five stars have done you an injustice in making you think your work is up to standard when it isn't. All that aside I can sense your urgency to write, to tell a story which you do admirably. There are storytellers and there are writers, to be able to do both demands a lot of hard work. I suggest you read R. W. Peake, one of his Caesar series to give you an example to follow. I wish you all the best with your writing
