Beate Goodall (1936 - ) From a very early age, my artistic flair had led me to oil-painting, ballet, acting and most of all - writing. I experienced my first public writing and drawing in the aftermath of WW 2. As many schools had been destroyed, make-shift venues catered for the schooling of some children. Eventually, the education system normalised, but textbooks and general educational material were almost non-existent. This prompted the principal of my school to engage me, still a young child and other artistic students to design exercise books with alphabets, simple mathematic, pictures and stories. It was a primitive tool, but helped teaching the younger pupils.From then on, my passion for writing and painting grew. I wrote quite a few stories and painted numerous land and sea scapes, though kept them private for many years. Harsh memories in Germany prompted me to seek greener pastures elsewhere, so I migrated to Australia, just 23, single, naďve and inexperienced. I could not speak English, let alone manage the Australian twang or slang, but I learned quickly. Circumstances taught me the hard way, what life was all about. I married and had 3 wonderful sons, whom I raised as single parent. I have held many responsible positions in the workforce and worked as volunteer in the community.    Photo of Beate Goodall by Volker Hirsch, 2003. My writing really took form after my arrival in Australia. It started as handwritten notes, recording events as they unfolded. When I acquired a computer, the notes were converted into stories and books. Beate Goodall's publications include: Fiction: In Destiny's Path (written in pen name Stephand Mark) (iUNIVERSE, 2003), Written In Sand (Carpe Diem, 2006), Chance Meeting (unpublished/ under the tutelage of Simon Hunter, Hollywood Producer), Final Encounter (forthcoming with Carpe Diem in 2007).

DC Green (1965 - ) DC Green has been described by his surf magazine peers as 'the world's best surf journalist', 'a salty Hunter S. Thompson' and by one magazine as their 'resident literary giant.' He has had over 2,000 articles published in over 30 surfing magazines in 20 plus countries, and remains a Contributing Editor to many. His article, Two White Doves, about the Sari Club bombing and aftermath was hailed as the greatest in the 36 year history of Tracks magazine and won the 'E-map Feature of the Year' Award. Even eight-times world surfing champion Kelly Slater has stated DC's Inside Sport profile was the most insightful any journalist has written about him (and DC beat him at pool, to boot). In his own small field, DC has influenced a generation of writers. Since 2004, DC has turned his considerable talents to the writing of children's novels. His first book for the young and young-at-brain, Erasmus James and the Galactic Zapp Machine, the first of a three-part series to feature intergalactic zapping, ninja horses and giant mutant chooks, has been described as "a joyous comic funfare ride of a book ... a brilliant debut novel" (Bill Condon, CBCA Honor Book of the Year winner); "a rollicking, fart-filled yarn" (Surfer magazine, USA); "an awesome read, an absolute corker!" (ASL magazine); "amazingly creative" (The Illawarra Mercury) and "like Harry Potter, but with way funnier jokes!" (Hayley T, 11 years old).    Photo of DC Green by Karisa Whelan, 2005. DC Green has an extremely popular author show that he performed in over 100 schools in four states in 2006. 2007 will see the publication of three more children's books: Three Little Surfer Pigs (picture book); Stinky Squad, a biting satire of today's Australia - with bonus brain-eating zombies; and the eagerly awaited Erasmus James sequel, King of Kid's Paradise. DC Green has also: * contributed fiction and non-fiction to 14 anthologies including the recent Surf Rage (ISBN: 095875010), 'Surf Stories (ISBN: 0957733542), Billabong: Only a Surfer Knows the Feeling) and the upcoming The Pilgrimage; * won the Victorian Ministry of the Arts Award for a Short Story ('Sharlene') and been nominated by Inside Sport magazine for Australian Sportswriter of the Year three times; * had one successful novel for adults published, Lash Clone Returns to Vortex, based on his cult character that appeared in over 80 episodes of Tracks magazine; * written for over 30 travel, sporting, in-flight and men's magazines and two dozen newspapers (including the Sydney Morning Herald and the Canberra Times); * had approximately 300 fiction stories published in small literary and mainstream magazines; * been profiled on Foxtel's RA TV. * penned four long-running cult magazine stories, three columns, two serialised cartoon scripts, a cartoon pilot for Foxtel, one movie script and ... more than he could hope to list before lunch. DC still surfs and works for surf magazines, but writing kid's books is now his main gig. Yes, he reckons he's found the most enjoyable and worst-paying job in the country! He lives where he grew up: on the NSW South Coast with one slightly crazy daughter and four very crazy cats. DC Green's publications include: Insert Publication details.

Sam Green (1954 - ) Sam Green first started writing as a child, where he was truly inspired by the "skits" the scouts use to sing around the campfires. Perhaps this was the encouragement he needed in his early days. 'At school l was dyslexic. Things I wrote didn't make much sense, and l was always being told off by the teachers for using incorrect grammar,' Sam recalls. 'Then one teacher corrected my spelling and took the trouble to correct the way I wrote certain letters of the alphabet. He liked what I had written and wanted to pin it up on his wall. I was 12 at the time, in the grade eight juniors, it was the first time I had ever been praised for my work. It was a poem which began "Flipping through the pages of our lives....." boy was he impressed 'Because songwriting does not rely a great deal on grammar, more from a creative side, this craft has give Sam a new scope to his life. 'I first realized l could write seriously during the Vietnam War period.    Photo of Same Green by Jack Green, 2002. There were many inspirations for me to follow. Bob Dylan, America, Arlo Gutherie to name a few. Sam Green writes from the heart and soul, his true experiences of life. "I was involved in a motorbike accident in the early 80's. I remember lying there on the hospital and the doctors wanted to amputate my leg. I said then, whatever happens, its in the hands of Lord. I was operated on, the leg was saved and in plaster for eight months. During this time in the hospital bed, I started writing. And writing and writing. A theory entered into my head on how the mind works - you just keep writing for your existence. I had the time to think about life and the universe. I share that through writing." Sam Green's publications include: Poetry: How I Avoid the Void, (Self-Published, 2000), A Thought in a Day, (Self- Published, 2000), A Collection of Poems book 1, (Self- Published, 2003), A Collection of Poems book 2, (Self- Published, 2003), A Collection of Poems book 3, (Self- Published, 2003); Albums: Players All Are We, (Sam Green, 1994), I Think It's About Time, (Sam Green and the Time Machine, 1997), Hundred of Miles, (Sam Green, 2002), Albums Don't Spit in the Ocean, (Sam Green, 2003).
