This story is about a man whom life seems to have dismissed as redundant. As a direct consequence of his situation and apparent failings in life, a caring and concerned distant relative bequeathed to him a small cottage in a secluded and remote village in an isolated rural region of the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales. This plain little cottage had connected to it some considerable and significant incidental encumbrances. From a shaky and tentative start at this little cottage, his own hidden inner strength and his real character emerge from his state of torpor, inactivity and general idleness as a series of events unfold about him in his new existence which impact hugely on those with whom he interacts. In the process, he discovers a hidden side to his character and uncovers several mysteries that no one even realised existed. It turned out that Graham Longley had inherited far more than just a cottage in a remote village.
Graham Richard Longley's connection to the Summers Chronicle is a tenuous and belated one. He is however, drawn inevitably into the maelstrom of the dramatic lives of the two main characters. He also contributes unintentionally to the advancement of the circumstances surrounding both of their complex and intertwined lives through the connections bequeathed to him on the death of this distant relative. This leads eventually to the culmination of the Summers Chronicle - at least as far as it can seemingly go.

Phillip Rosewarne has lived and worked in various places on the east coast of Australia, his first job being for a shipping company. After working in New Guinea, Phillip was a project clerk for the Australian Government in Canberra and the Northern Territory, where he worked in Darwin and Katherine, initially for the Commonwealth Department of Works and then for three years as head storeman for Woolworths in the Darwin area, two years either side of Cyclone Tracy. Phillip then bought a cattle property in Queensland, which he operated for four years.After returning to Canberra, he initially worked at Mount Stromlo Observatory as a groundsman. It was in Canberra that he obtained a Certificate of Horticulture from TAFE. He then spent the next twenty-five years at the Commonwealth Department of Primary Industries, as it was then known. During this time, he worked in a science bureau within several primary industry sections and gained an Applied Science Degree from the University of Canberra.Phillip always had a desire to write novels as opposed to scientific papers. He began writing after leaving school, and the passion to write never left him. It was only later in life that he had the opportunity to write fiction on a more permanent basis.Phillip is currently retired and lives on the northern beaches of Sydney.
