You Might As Well Die by Jj Murphy

You Might As Well Die by Jj Murphy

These works are an autobiography in short-story, poetry and travelling diary form, spanning most of my life, just your ordinary, common citizen, but the unique aspect of all this, it would seem, is that most of the material written, starting as far back as 1967, was actually kept; somehow I managed not to lose the writings despite becoming a serviceman and travelling extensively at home and abroad. They were written in various blank page books in my own handwriting, and this practice continued on through R.A.F. life in my home country of England and in South-East Asia before I joined up with my family and settled in Australia from October, 1973. In Australia, I treated the writing of poetry and literature as a hobby (as with art sketches and drawings), and also with a resumption of my travels from Australia to such countries as Britain, the U.S.A. and Hong Kong. The sheer volume of the works meant that by 2005, I would need to submit them into my computer hard-drive and put them to disk (and flash-drive). My only fame to seeing my writings in print (not depicted here) were in Royal Air Force and other various local civilian publications many years ago. The writings carried on from 2005, culminating with my travel experiences and expatriation to life in Thailand, and later trips back to Singapore (twice) and South Korea up to March, 2014, at age 63. This book, including the poetry, is written in a way which covers the light-hearted and humorous side of life as well as the serious side. My best wishes to any readers I may pick up on this book of my life to date.
