Retired Traffic Management Project Manager and one of Amazon bestselling author, Gordon, has spent most of his life in sales, public transport and traffic management. In 1998, he received the Certificate of Transport Management from Queensland University. He also received the Certificate IV in Project Management. 
Gordon has three sons with his first wife and now has four grandchildren. He married his current wife, Kay, in Brisbane in 2003, and she has been his inspiration ever since.
Gordon has enjoyed working experience in the public transportation industry and then civil construction came to an awesome end in 2013 as he retired at Caloundra, Queensland.
After retirement, he took an interest in researching his family. This research helped him discover links back to the 1400's and even a distant link to the Royal family of the United Kingdom. Also, during this research, he discovered he had relatives who fought in the Great War. Though he was familiar with his relatives in the 2nd World War, he knew nothing about the men in his family who had fought in the Great War.
This research and discovery gave him knowledge and ideas which brought about the writing of his first book "A family that went to war" After publishing his first book, other books sprang up easily. His second book was ";An Australian story"- the saga of an Australian family over two centuries. In this book, he wrote about Australia early settlement and the events that made Australia and the makings of a family. Amazingly, this book sat on the Amazon best selling list for the Kindle history of Australia and Oceania for about 10 days, giving him further inspiration as he wrote his third book within a calendar year. His third book"The Ministry Communications Unit"; is pure fiction based on a fictitious movie company set up by the Government during World War 2.
This has been followed by two outstanding stories and thought provoking to delight all readers "Lady Ruth Bromfield" & "Men with a Mission"
