Hi..

Any and all comments are definitely welcome.

Ok so here is my latest idea for a book.

Nowhere to turn.

Like most people, Don Hunt thinks he lives in the lucky country Australia,
until through no fault of his own, his flat goes up in smoke.  Don looses
his job in the car making industry. Don is a qualified social worker as
well, but can't get a job.  No matter where Don goes or who he goes too, Don
can't find a job or a place to live.
In desperation, Don commits a crime only to find the prison system
overcrowded.  Don ends up in one of the few mens hostels, mostly full of
criminals and he is violently attacked.  Don gets out of hospital and finds
himself on the streets surviving on unemployment benefits.
Don turns to drugs and then religion in his desperate search to find
something to fill the emptiness inside him.  After a chance encounter with
the most famous name of the day, Don thinks he has found the help he has
desperately been looking for, but the help comes to an end with a most
shocking murder.  Don climbs a bridge to end his life and there, Don meets
his salvation, the love of his life.

Once I got started with this idea, the whole story just came to me.
It's nearly finished and I'm happy to post the whole story to the list.

I hope people will freely share the story.

The story is adult reading, all events are fictional as are all characters.
There is very little swearing in the book, but the book contains scenes of a
violent nature.  The book also contains references to drugs, political
themes and some religious themes.  Get ready for the surprise in relation to
Don's love of his life.

I expect to have the book finished including correcting any grammar and
spelling errors by July 31st.

I will post it to the list on this date.  No copyright infringement is
intended towards any other authors.  The book is completely free of charge,
and if you are ambitious enough, you have my full permission to produce the
book in any format you wish.  All I ask is that if you do this, you do this
completely free of charge for all parties.

The book isn't very long, I expect somewhere between 100 and 200 pages for
the final draft.  There will be an acknowledgements page and a small
dedication.

I wish to encourage any of you, if you have a short story, a book you've
written, don't worry too much about the money side of things, please share
it here.

Why did I write this story?  Good question.  I saw and heard something on
television about 3 weeks ago.  I don't remember which channel or what show.
I do remember it was in Australia and it showed homeless people.  Three days
later, I awoke with the idea so I began writing.
It's not my goal to become a famous published author.  I love reading books
and I like the idea of writing my own.  I only had to do a little it of
research into the whole homelessness situation in australia.  Believe it or
not, there are some really genuine homeless people in our country, even
whole families who live in cars or shelter wherever they can find places to
go.  Some of them don't even get unemployment benefits because social
services says they have no fixed addresses.  It's really happening every
single day and right under our noses.

I am eternally glad there are genuine charities out there trying to help
these people, and there are genuine people who need help and who don't take
advantage of the help they are given.  It's hard to believe that such people
exist, but research suggests they really do.  The media love telling us
about how somebody took advantage of some system or ripped off the tax
payers, but give no credit whatsoever to these truly forgotten people..  It
was also staggering to find out some of these people have genuine
disabilities, meaning the disability isn't related to illegal drug taking.
