In 1973, facing prosecution for dangerous driving following a high-speed motorcycle collision, a young civil engineer accepted a short-term job offer in Singapore. That twist of fate catapulted him into a global oil and gas industry fuelled by fallout from the Yom Kippur War, which saw crude oil jump from US$23 to US$62 a barrel. One year turned into thirty. Singapore turned into the Far East, the Middle East, the North Sea and South America. The journey took him to the world’s greatest opera houses and through England’s and Ireland’s finest fox hunting country. David Wilson rose, fell, and rose again. This is the story.

Author bio
Born in Dalby in 1947, David Wilson grew up on Mount Oscar Station just outside Clermont. Having matriculated, his initial instinct was to study medicine but when offered a scholarship in civil engineering his future path was decided. His early years as a graduate engineer were spent on projects around Australia but faced with losing his driver’s licence for driving dangerously, he accepted a job in Singapore in the oil and gas industry. Later, David established an engineering office in London where he spent much of his time improving the written English of his colleagues, but Never Fear the Spills is his first published book. The book was spawned by a desire to impart some of his wisdom to younger generations of engineers. David now spends his days in retirement on the Sunshine Coast.

The Book

In 1973, facing prosecution for dangerous driving following a high-speed motorcycle collision, a young civil engineer accepted a short-term job offer in Singapore. That twist of fate catapulted him into a global oil and gas industry fuelled by fallout from the Yom Kippur War, which saw crude oil jump from US$23 to US$62 a barrel. One year turned into thirty. Singapore turned into the Far East, the Middle East, the North Sea and South America. The journey took him to the world’s greatest opera houses and through England’s and Ireland’s finest fox hunting country. David Wilson rose, fell, and rose again. This is the story.

“He stopped to lean against a rail at the edge of the path, where the cliff jutted out, providing a popular sea-gazing spot. Seagulls wheeled majestically, soaring and hanging in the air like kites. Away from the shore-line, the sea became seemingly flat and calm, compellingly blue. The scene had such an uplifting power, it was tempting just to remain there, absorbing it. Even the rhythmic surging of waves against rocks fifty metres below was a kind of soothing music.
Without warning, the rail slackened under his body. It suddenly sagged forward like a sapling caught in a gale. It happened too quickly for him to jerk back. His own weight carried him forward as the rail buckled and he felt himself losing his balance. He was at the very edge of the cliff, tumbling. He felt the yawning chasm reaching for him, the cool air rushing upward from the sea. He felt the terror engulf him. His feet scrabbled at the earth, stirring up a flurry of loose soil and pebbles. His arms flailed desperately, despairingly. He was starting to fall, the scream frozen in his throat.”

The Book
Rosie Franklin is an enthusiastic teacher and sports coach who, through her desire for adventure, cements a teenage school friendship into a loving relationship with Chas Anderson. Chas, a local, daredevil stunt pilot, is also a well-known crop-duster. Together they weave their dreams for the future, unaware of the betrayal by friends and associates to undermine their aspirations. From the days of settlement during the early 1900s in the mid-western New South Wales farming region, to the 1980s, there is generational discord, inheritance arguments, and jealousy, all of which ultimately create dissension between the characters, while adventurous pursuits continue in the isolated, NSW, country town of Gunnedah.

Author Bio
Ruth’s paternal grandmother, Alida, passed away when she was two years old. Alida was a Swedish immigrant, who arrived in Australia in 1899 as a newlywed. She gave birth to her first child on the Western Australian goldfields in the summer of 1900. When Ruth realized she was the last one in the family in possession of the tales of her strong, gutsy grandmother, she believed the story should not go untold. This inspired her to write her first book, Alida’s Story in which she shows how our lives are woven into the social history of the times.
Two years ago, Ruth and her husband, Don, who now live on the south east coast of NSW, moved from Victoria’s High Country where they had worked their homestay holiday business for international students for over twenty years. Providing language tuition and local adventures for the young students from Asia and Europe had been a very satisfying experience but with the Covid 19 closure of international borders, the business had to close. It has been a dramatic lifestyle change for Ruth. So with much more free time at hand, she decided to develop her interest in writing. After following up her grandmother’s story with her mother’s and her own, Ruth then decided to write her first novel, Clouds and Sunshine, which touches on the aspirations she had as a young woman and develops as a story of intrigue and romance.
