Footsteps Across A Miracle is a collection of poems about everyday life, people and situations, some funny, some tragic. There are also cryptic philosophies which are both uplifting and encouraging. Footsteps was inspired by a special lady who flew across the Atlantic to find a new family for two orphaned Dutch boys and to provide for them a good education and all the things two growing youngsters should be able to enjoy. In some ways it is a tribute to her generosity and selflessness, qualities which fly a flag of example for all humanity. The author draws on his experience as a journalist, sportsman, motivational coach, auctioneer and market trader to offer his own angle on life. Sometimes his tales are told with a twist in the tail or a dash of pathos. At other times they bring a tear to the eye. But they do leave a mark. Tony sees the fun or the sadness in a subject and squeezes it out.
