“The irascible Max O’Bannion is a character I’d be delighted to play. Complex, loyal, flawed, scheming, lovable, infuriating and courageous... what more could you want?”
John Howard
(‘SeaChange’... ‘All Saints’)

"Australia and Ireland....two great countries joined at the funny-bone." |
 |
At a rundown Municipal swimming pool, an overweight, sixty year old swimming coach squints at the sky and dreams of his only son representing Australia in the Olympic Games…
And so begins the compelling and hilarious story of Max O’Bannion; a father, a veteran, a swim coach – and a real character!
Based around true events, this epic tale spans three decades and three continents. Full of love and loss and mayhem, Made In Australia is guaranteed to make you laugh and make you cry. If ever a book proves that blood is not always thicker than (chlorinated) water, this is it!

Testimonial
"I started your book last night and read until 3am, then completed it this morning. (I'm a slow reader.)
It should go onto the English syllabus immediately."
