DEFINING LIFE CHAPTERS
Chris can help
Some periods in life deserve special attention — moments of service, sacrifice, change, or achievement. This might reflect a specific era, such as military service, a major career chapter, or a defining life experience. These stories can be shaped into a focused narrative that honours their importance.
LEAVE A
LEGACY
Chris can help
Your story doesn’t end with you. By capturing your experiences, values, and lessons, you create something future generations can connect with and learn from. A written legacy allows children and grandchildren to truly understand where they came from — and the life that shaped them.
HELPING
OTHERS

Some stories are about giving back. Whether it’s a not-for-profit organisation, a community group, or a cause close to your heart, these narratives will highlight dedication, compassion, and impact. They can help preserve history, inspire others, and support ongoing awareness and engagement.
BUSINESS OR CLUB HISTORY
Chris can help
Every business, club, or organisation has a story worth telling. From humble beginnings to milestones and achievements, documenting that history creates a lasting record of growth, challenges, and success. It’s a meaningful way to honour people, purpose, and progress over time.

MY WORK
Grace Draper comes out of emergency surgery to find an empty crib. Now police are looking for little Ella-Louise, the precious daughter she gave birth to just three days ago. Known baby-brokers are under investigation but the detectives just can’t get a break.
Struggling with their marriage, Detective Charlie Draper and his wife Grace commence a desperate search. Was their baby snatched by kidnappers, or is there something more sinister occurring?
With the cat out of the bag, and the wedding no longer a secret, who’d have thought so many Australians would virtually walk over hot coals to get to Macedonia for a wedding? Not Jacki and Sasa – that’s for sure. Now with 150 Australians heading for Macedonia, the wedding is heading for disaster.
​ Can Sasa rescue this mess or is it time for Shirley to step up and take action? With the big day about to dawn, guests arrive, gowns are finally readied and the little town is abuzz with excitement.
Having escaped from an abusive foster home, Summer lives in fear of her former foster father catching up with her. Rachel simply lives in fear. When the girls get together they realise their lives aren’t really that different after all, and together with the town’s new policewoman, they begin their own investigation.
This whole chain of events steers Melissa and the FBI to the underground world of the outback Australian opal fields and culminates in the collapse of a heinous empire that has been run by the last person anyone would have suspected.
The story follows the trials and tribulations of a family who began a chain of cinemas when WWII was ending, and cinema was bringing new joy and hope to the people. It describes the rise to glory of the Cambridge family, who sold their failing farm after years of drought to finally be wiped out by a bushfire. Carleton Cambridge sets up a make-shift picture theatre in an old grain store.
We journey through the creation of the first grand cinema – the fire that almost destroys it. Romance blooms and turmoil prevails as this cinema empire is born.
