About the Author
Derek Thompson was made in England and exported to Australia with mum, dad and brother in 1957. After rigorous training in electrical engineering at Sydney University, he worked for 34 long years with NSW Public Works as an electrical engineer and project manager. He is married to Margaret and has two daughters. Derek has no aspirations to be a movie producer (in spite of what Albert says). He is a God observer who, on retirement, completed a Diploma in Theology with Charles Sturt University and now is busy writing and working for an ecumenical church organisation called the Illawarra Prayer Network.
