Sobre mí

Michael Patrick Mardel (1949-) was born near the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. He attended school run by the Brigidine nuns. He tried religious life for 5 years and ended up at a teachers' college for the first time. From then on he trained to be a teacher-librarian ending up with a Bachelor of Education and a Graduate Diploma of Librarianship. At the age of 40 he started studying psychology as that is what he always wanted to do. He graduated with a Graduate Diploma of Applied Science (Psychology) and has spent his time since then counselling, teaching students how to drive, and being a carer. In 2004 he assisted his publisher on bringing out Library Walkabout and from then on he self-published Walkabout Dreaming years 5-8 and 3-4, Sustainability in the 21st century part 1 and part 2 (Growing your own), Computer Walkabout, Storyteller Walkabout, Music Walkabout and Style Manual. He wrote the Australian short stories for boys (& girls) over two years and they were critiqued by readers at Fanstory, a teacher friend, his wife and a paid editor. These stories are now available from Amazon through CreateSpace for $5.99. Other textbooks are available at his website: http://www.downunderonline.org. The e-books are available for $2.99 from Amazon or $10 through his website for the textbooks.
Michael has now written a trilogy around the life of Paul O'Leary for middle grade readers: The journal of Paul O'Leary: from the city to the outback; Paul O'Leary: trouble on the farm; and Paul O'Leary: overseas adventures. There are now 3 YA books: The diary of a babydyke in transition; Frack off: trouble in the high country and the Kimberley; and A Seahorse Tale.
