About tonystewart3

Born and bred in Brisbane, Australia hundreds of years ago I learnt about the power of imagination that goes into reading and writing and I have tried my best to emulate some of those great writers in print, radio and screen with my own creations starting with The Night of the Darkness which is part of a series under the heading of the Edge of Nightfall. I hope you enjoy the blog and you are more than welcome to make comment should something strike you as being not quite right in the blog or the storyline. Thanks for taking the time to read this and the blog
