Interview with Author – Gigi Sedlmayer

Interview with Author – Gigi Sedlmayer

,

Gisela (Gigi) Sedlmayer was born on 19 May 1944 in Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin in Germany.
Her family escaped to the West just before the infamous wall went up. They moved around in Germany, following where her dad got work. That meant she had to change 9 times schools. In the end she never had friends again, of fear, she will lose them again.
Finally, they settled in Munich where Gigi studied architectural drafting and met Albert in 1965, marrying in December 1967. She worked as a civil drafts-person in various private consultancies in Munich.
Since her uncle was a writer, she tried to write short animal stories herself. Nothing further came of it, but she developed a love for the written word and started to consume books.
In May 1975, Gigi and her husband moved to New Zealand. Because of language challenges, she started a handcraft business. As a specialty, she made colourful parrots in several sizes of which she sold thousands in a few years.
In 1988, they decided to adopt and became adoptive parents of twin girls the year after. They lived in New Zealand for eighteen years and moved to Australia in September 1992.
One year later Gigi was diagnosed with cancer. After operations and radiation, she withdrew, thinking that she would probably soon be dead, like her friend who died of cancer, but her two little girls gave her the courage to keep going. After a few years, still among the living, her brain started to work again, so she thought, ‘Get a grip on yourself and do something good with your life’.
She remembered the time she wrote short stories and got inspired again, seeing her husband Albert writing the story of their adoption. Her English became increasingly better so she pressed on to develop her creative writing.
Albert taught her how to use a computer and she wrote many short stories. She entered them in competitions and often got very good reports back, which gave her confidence to go on writing. One day the idea for the TALON series came to her and she spent the next several years bringing the story and the characters to life.
She now loves writing and spends most of her time at the computer, developing new story lines. She also loves traveling, 4×4 touring, swimming, gardening, handcrafting, reading, fossicking and enjoys good adventure DVD’s or going to the movies.

Interview with Author – Brian Joseph Jeffries

,

2018 was an amazing year and a new beginning for me. For over 20 years, I was in the EMS field; first as a volunteer Firefighter, then working as an EMT, Paramedic, Flight Medic and Instructor. My life has now taken a huge, exciting turn. My new adventure all started when I began waking up at 3am each morning and started to write down my thoughts and dreams. These writings ultimately became a collection of lyrical poems which are songs telling stories of my life and my journey with the Lord. I have never done anything like this before and I felt like I was writing words that were being given to me by God. Throughout these poems, the theme is around the many battles of good and evil which I feel we all struggle with in various ways. For me, things that were once negative and difficult, I now see in a positive light. The nightmares in my mind, have been replaced with dreams of positivity and inspiration. I have been truly blessed to be able to publish my collection of poems in 2019 and pray that this book of life’s journeys is a blessing to you and uplifts your heart!
