About the Author

Stuart Pearson, after many varied careers over decades in law enforcement, education, government, and business, has finally found his calling in writing. His first book Bittersweet: The Memoir of a Chinese Indonesian Family in the Twentieth Century was published to much critical acclaim, and was nominated for the New South Wales Premier's Prize for Literature in 2010. Bob Mitchell trained as a psychiatric nurse in the late 1960s, and is now retired from his position as Senior Lecturer (Mental Health) at Napier University, Edinburgh.
