Ian Newbegin
Ian Newbegin is a late bloomer to writing novels but not to writing generally. He has written and published a study guide (Australian Study guide, Information Australia, 1985) and has published four journal articles published, three that were peer reviewed.
During the year 1999, he completed his PhD after which time he gained a passion for writing to relieve boredom, but mainly to formalize an idea he held for a novel ten years previous. Needless to say his thesis involved the study of procrastination.
As a young adult, Ian practiced Karate and meditation, eventually teaching it to students at school along with relaxation techniques. Later, he developed the concept of ‘mind travel’ from the principles involved in meditation, which forms the basis of the book, Stay. Book 2 - 'Stay: Al is not what it seems' is now published. Book three 'Stay: changes, many changes' will be published soon. Book 4 is currently being written.
Ian has four adult children and nine grand children and a loving wife who supports his passion, writing.
