About The Author
Will Bonner was born and raised in a small
village nestled in the heart of the English
countryside. The idyllic surroundings of
the family cottage which was situated
alongside a river that literally flowed past
the front door concealed the day to day
struggle to survive their poor and needy
circumstances.
Will’s teen years were lost to him by the
onset of World War 2, and he found
himself as a young seaman subjected to
attacks by German U-Boats and enemy
aircraft. During this time he travelled to
many parts of the world.
Returning home after the war Will stayed with his family for three years
during which time he married. Deciding to take advantage of associations
formed during his voyages to Australia Will and Dorothy emigrated there.
They were amongst the many thousands of people who were seeking a
fresh start in a young country far removed from the aftermath of the war in
Europe.
Graduating as an Electronics Engineer he settled down to form roots and
raise a family. Described in the book are the circumstances that eventually
compel him to pull up those roots that they had worked so hard to
establish and take the family back to his birthplace in England.
The following years saw the marriage of both his children who then
emigrated to Canada.
In the conclusion of the final chapter of “The Reluctant Agent”
circumstances enable Will and Dorothy to eventually join their children
and live permanently in Canada.
The endless hours spent by Dorothy typing the manuscript, proof reading,
and editing “The Reluctant Agent” most certainly sustained the continuity
of the writing. It’s completion may not have been accomplished without
her constant help and assurance.
