Most of his work career was in the field of manufacturing until he started a successful consulting business in 2010. While traveling for business on a flight from Melbourne to Sydney, Australia, a conversation with a woman seated next to him motivated him to write this memoir. Their conversation revealed Hafey had already written a successful technical book related to his consulting work and she had completed a non-fiction manuscript and was returning from a writer’s conference in Melbourne where she had been actively seeking a publisher. This back and forth conversation about writers and writing was inspiring and not forgotten for after completing a second technical book the process of writing this memoir began. For 2-1/2 years, the stories of his childhood were written and re-written. He had the time of his life writing this memoir and he hopes reading it will trigger memories of your childhood.view less
