FAILED TIMES and TWISTED FOLLIES
'Failed Times and Twisted Follies' is a collection of entertaining true-life stories in the life of one of Australia's adventurers, John Carr (1935-2021). Always striving for his next adventure and recognition, his wandering spirit takes him from Adelaide, South Australia to places many Australians never go. Each adventure is colored by the times he lived through, and the people he encountered. Winner of an Australian inventors TV show for his CARR-B-Q invention, a co-discoverer of Australia's richest uranium mine, 'El Sherana', a survivor of gold mining during Southern Rhodesia's brush war (in what is now called Zimbabwe), and one of the brave souls that strived to build the underground Manapouri Hydroelectric Power station in New Zealand. He held 'the hand that held the hand of 'Breaker Morant'' and met the 'last of the wandering nomads' in the Australian Outback. Some real Aussie yarns told by J.C. himself. Enjoy.
The Lobby to Heaven
A little boy lives with a secret, having dreams of his family and friends when they pass away. Unable to understand why or tell anyone for fear of ridicule, he continues to have the departed visit him as he grows up. The dreams of those that have departed grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, imprinted on his memory forever, he thinks this its all just a coincidence. After 50 years everything changes when a new mother reaches out to him, in a dream, to save her baby and he recalls all of those that had passed and visited. This time was not a coincidence. Recalling his own near death experience brings it all into perspective. These impossible accounts of life after death are true stories that brings closure, when tangible proof of the others side and life after death, shows up in the form a necklace and a message for a neighbor from the departed that death is not the end. A message that our family and friends are waiting for us in a very beautiful place.
