Stephen J TrigwellI was born in Perth, Western Australia, in 1953. At 20 years of age, I was a long haired, smart arsed, confident (but not), slightly confused, likeable larrikin. A late maturing hippie, I set out on a journey of self discovery backpacking overseas duing the mid 1970's, before returning to my hometown of Perth and establishing my first business venture. Marrying my best friend, we had three wonderful children. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work alongside all of them and they inspired me to write and publish my first book in 2004 - The Great Journey: Amazing Adventures with Smarty Pants the Fox. The book was well received and a commercial success (as a hard copy) in Australia. I consider myself primarily a musician. My second book 105 Steps is a raw and emotional outpouring written on my iPhone in the corridors of hospital ICU. I had no intention of writing a book, however (as with my songwriting), when my wife's life was in the balance, I felt compelled to find release by expressing myself in words. I've always had a guitar by my side and, with the support of my wife, released my first single "Autumn Day" on major streaming platforms in June 2020. I morphed through business, marriage, births, deaths, success and failure and came out the other side with less hair and wearing a hat instead of a head band. In 1974, I had letters behind my name, I ditched them. Nowadays, I occasionally play and record music, write and care for my beautiful wife.
