MY STORY

I always like to get to know the person I’m working with. I’m sure you do too, so here’s a snapshot of me.

First things first. I’m a writer. Professionally for 30 years. And over 45 years if you count my early detective stories I wrote while in primary school. You can read more about my writing career here (minus the detective stories).

I have two daughters – both young adults – who make me laugh, listen and learn everyday. Same applies to their gorgeous mum (she told me to say that :).

I love my sport, in particular the Brisbane Lions Australian Football Club. I’m community focused, having coached my girls in their netball and nippers, and remain active in issues that are important to me.

This includes my focus on mental health advocacy – particularly related to young people and men – which led me to self-publish my first picture book Why Worry Wally?, aimed at helping kids cope and deal with their worries. Please check it out by clicking on the link.

So that’s me.

If you think I could help you and you’d like to continue the conversation, whether that’s as a writer for you or finding out more about Why Worry Wally?, feel free to call me on +61 412 608 359 or email me at rick.foster@bigpond.com
