About this ebook

Australian poetry, prose and stories stand alone because their beginning can be traced back to Colonization in 1788. This facet of the arts began as entertainment around campfires at a time when hardships and adventures were romanticised. They characteristically followed themes of heroic achievement and individual experiences. Back then, the ethnic groups were English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh. Today, Australian literature keeps its original theme with added egalitarianism, blending the original transportation cultures with those of the Indigenous peoples, those born in Australia, the British Isles, Egypt, Greece, Lebanon, Poland, Russia, Turkey and other nationalities. Thus, literature and its sister, the art scene, is a powerful mirror reflecting Australia’s unique social and political contexts. I invite you to enjoy my contributions! Magda

About the author

Magda Palmer is an artist, author, and poet. She rarely exhibits her artwork, preferring to enjoy it personally. It helps her understand the wonders of our planet and the universe, its influence on all living things, and her place in the world. Magda’s art and writing often contain subliminal messages of human and animal rights and romance. Magda is determined to promote beauty, knowledge, dignity, honour, and the pursuit of excellence in everything she does. Her code of conduct is to live without malice, devoid of greed and gluttony. She does not eat or use animal-derived food and products nor wear animal-derived clothing. Magda is against all animal experimentation and animal-to-human organ transfers. She passionately believes humanity can gain planetary harmony through personal example and a rich source of truthful, well-documented multimedia. Magda’s Tao is to care for all creatures. Her passions are minerals and the performing arts, and her devotion is to her immediate and extended family. She wishes to help effectuate an enlightened planetary civilisation deserving of the creation of which we are an integral part. Her books reflect her wish. They are; My Feng Shui. Magda studied this ancient Far Eastern Philosophy under a genuine Chinese Master in London who asked Magda to teach, true to her notes when she returned to Australia. After a long time of passing on ancient knowledge, she married and moved to the Northern Territory, where Adult Education Classes did not exist, so her students suggested she create a book with her accompanying artwork. The result is available on the net, titled “My Feng Shui”. The Healing Power of Crystals. This work contains far more information on self-healing than the title suggests. First published in 1989, it has been given kudos for reviving drug-free healing through the beauty of gemstones and minerals and correctly linking us with the energies of the solar system through astronomical and gemology facts. Paper Sparrow is a historical novel inspired by real-life events in Australia from 1943 to 1955. The story champions the power of self-belief, symbolic rebirth and freedom from oppression of Mind, body and soul.
