SINCLAIRS RETREAT:
Over a number of marvellous vacations at Berida Manor in the picturesque Southern Highlands of New South Wales, I had the opportunity to observe and meet a variety of interesting people.
It fascinated me to hear their stories, their successes and failures, their triumphs and tragedies, and to speculate on their motives, actions and outcomes.
Often, following lengthy round-table discussions after dinner, I would retire to my room and jot down my impressions. Eventually I had so much material that I resolved to weave these personal journeys into a novel.
So, while persons, situations and times may have suffered a degree of poetic licence to protect identities, essentially all these stories and events are true and actually happened, the characters are depicted as accurately as possible.
A wide range of issues are raised. Loss, seeking, pathos, humour, infidelity, marriage break-down, jealousy, love and passion, all these feature in the real world. I find it of consuming interest to see how differently we all react.

BACK COVER
If you are as intrigued, as I am, by what makes people tick, how one individual’s actions can so influence another’s, then I hope my exploration of the many facets of human behaviour will cause you to think and consider, and to derive, if few answers, at least a degree of enjoyment and satisfaction. We none of us are alone in our struggle!

BOOK REVIEW
Published in the Southern Highlands News, Wednesday 30th November, 2011.
‘The Chaos Vortex’ by local author Rob Ennever is a remarkable book. Remarkable in that it can be read and enjoyed at two levels. For those of you who want a gripping, page-turning holiday or travel read with a compelling story-line, this is for you!
From its dramatic opening in riot-torn London the reader is transported back in time to become totally involved with a cast of intriguing characters drawn from vastly different backgrounds.
As their sometimes tragic and often brutal stories develop and circumstances shape destinies, inevitably paths cross and lives collide with disastrous consequences.
And for those who like something thought-provoking, this exciting novel revolves around many of the controversial issues confronting us today. Unbridled greed, media manipulation, drug addiction, social breakdown, civil unrest and mindless violence, all portrayed against the background of a moving love story.
