As a young man John Havilah enjoyed the physicality of working as a station hand on a sheep property and playing Rugby whenever possible. He then took a sharp turn to become a Pharmacist owning Seaforth Pharmacy, Sydney for many years. During this time he also served a term as an Alderman on Manly Council. On selling the Pharmacy he and his wife Sue moved to Noosa, purchased Noosa Book Shop and became very interested in Creative Writing. John has now finished his second novel and written about one hundred short stories. Having moved on from the book shop his day now starts with an ocean swim, a walk with the dogs and preferably includes some time at the writing desk.
