An exciting update, courtesy of our dear friend, 1968 Fulbright alum Professor Ross Fitzgerald AM (Griffith University):

“I thought that you and the group might be interested to know that my forty-third book, and eighth Grafton Everest adventure, THE LOWEST DEPTHS, will soon be released by my nimble Melbourne-based publisher, Hybrid. This follows my forty-second book, a memoir, FIFTY YEARS SOBER: AN ALCOHOLIC’S JOURNEY, also published by Hybrid.

THE LOWEST DEPTHS is co-written with my long-time friend Ian McFadyen, of Comedy Company fame.

In it, the hapless ex-President of the Republic of Australia, whose beloved wife Janet is away on a world tour, Dr Professor Grafton Everest finds himself part of a United Nations mission to investigate electoral fraud in Russia.

Bookending my seventh Grafton Everest adventure THE DIZZYING HEIGHTS, in THE LOWEST DEPTHS my Panama hat wearing, corpulent anti-hero finds himself in Moscow and the icy wastes of Siberia in a plot full of twists and turns that would make an Olympic gymnast proud.

My eighth Grafton Everest adventure, THE LOWEST DEPTHS, will be released by Hybrid Publishers on November 5 – which happens to be Guy Fawkes Day and the anniversary of my marriage in 1976 to my darling late wife Lyndal Moor.”
