| A.G.
Bennett was born in Geelong, Victoria,
Australia in 1960, A.G. Bennett spent his
early childhood sailing with his family up
and down the east coast of Australia on a
yacht his father had built. Finally settling
in northern New South Wales, he attended
schools in Yamba and Maclean where his talent
for writing first became apparent. He later
attended the University of New England in
Armidale, New South Wales where he completed
a double major in English Literature and
Modern History. He spent his university breaks
working in Brisbane in Queensland, and country
Victoria, as his family constantly moved
to different parts of the country. After
finishing university, he came to Sydney and
worked in various occupations until he joined
the telecommunication industry where he was
employed for twenty years. The
job was mostly enjoyable and his co-workers
friendly, but he would have been much happier
as a full time musician. As a self-taught
guitarist, he composed music and lyrics for
numerous songs over the years but later swapped
his guitar for a pen, took up poetry, and
for the last three years of his employment,
in his spare time, composed a large assortment
of poems. He took voluntary redundancy in
2003 and has since worked in various occupations
on a part time basis. On leaving the telecommunication
industry, he returned to his earlier love
of writing and changed from composing poetry
to writing short stories and longer works
of fiction. It was only then he discovered
his true vocation in life, one he would have
pursued much earlier if not for economic
constraints. He is currently overjoyed to
be publishing his first book of short stories.
In 1996, he married his long-term girlfriend,
Phyll, and they now live in Sydney’s
inner western suburbs. His sister, Sara Mackenzie,
is a successful and well-respected writer
of romantic novels and shares his passion
for writing. |

Karim Khan (pen name: Ernest Dempsey)
was born in Hangu, a small town in Pakistan. His new book is Two Candles! As a child, he enjoyed two things: The joyful
company of his brother and Khan’s best
friend, Shais; and, making airy castles with
lots of characters in his mind. These two
things pervaded through his spirit so much
that he has given up valuable scholarships
to pursue them. At twelve, he began his career
by writing detective stories, horror, thrillers,
and whatnot). However, a career in writing
held no bright prospects in his society.
So he studied geology. But his literary spirit
demanded more attention and he started studying
classics, alongside writing. The Internet
reached his hometown in 2003, whereupon he
began submitting his work to literary ezines.
In just the last year, he has seen publication
of his poems, essays, short stories, and
literary reviews. He has been published in
audience literary journal, and other literary
journals, as well as other magazines. His
reviews appear in The audience Review, and
other places. Email: dempsey87@yahoo.com. |
