Charlie is a man of contrast, a master of nothing and an accidental author. An everyday accountant and family man living a suburban life who was, and still is, incredibly curious and constantly craving adventure.

These accounts of real life history were originally notes he would make to entetain and inspire his then, young children. By day, Charlie was immersed in the sterile world of numbers and spreadsheets. With free time, he emerged into a world of imagined adventures and fantasy with his boys, living vicariously through the heroic exploits of others.

 Loving all things outdoors. Bushwalks would turn into a trek to the South Pole. Sailing days on the lake could be an epic sea adventure. Together they tapped into the triumph of the human spirit, the likes of the adventurers he so admires.

 With more time on his hands these days, these Swift Histories are now ready to be shared with you. With deeper research and an elaboration of the who, the what, the how and the when bring this amazing history to life.

  Charlie’s motivation is that these true stories will “Educate, Entertain and Inspire”.
