The pre-launch is at the stylish Regional Art Gallery in Gosford.
Doctors gather from all over the Central Coast
to have an evening event on: – ‘The impact of Fear-Terror on people.
Respected psychiatrist, Dr Iyr eludicated fear and its crippling impact. Fear can make us sick. Part of the way to disempower FEAR is through story, opening up fears, talking, understanding and seeking answers.
Fear Factor: Terror Incognito was given a huge launch on the evening. It’s 20 different personal stories from Indian and Australian authors, on terrorism, reveal the human face of terrorism, fear, alienation and invite discussion and change.
Stories include the writing of Sir Salman Rushdie, Thomas Keneally, Rosie Scott, David Malouf …. and me. My story ‘Days of Thailand’ was an intense journey about father-son relationships, fears, moral responsibility, philosophy, ideas and ultimately hope.
Dr Andrew Kwong organised this brilliant pre-launch and lots of people joined the doctors. Andrew’s story as a refugee from the Chinese cultural revolution is one of the stories. Today Andrew is a successful and much loved doctor on the Central Coast, husband and father of 3 children and …a short story writer with his story in the anthology.
I hope schools buy this book so that senior students can discuss terrorism, to find their way towards peace.
