Brief Bio- Tony DeLorger
Past 'Poet of the Year' on HubPages, poem of the year 'The Creative Exiles' 2017, novelist, writer of both fiction and non-fiction and philosopher, always searching out the truth.
I was born in the southern suburbs of Sydney, Australia in 1953. Coming from an artistic family background, I studied art, music and photography in my early years, and began a career in advertising in my early twenties.
In the years that followed, my experience and career broadened to include further disciplines such as business management, sales and marketing. I have been a professional musician and songwriter, as well as a graphic and fine artist, specializing in oils and oil pastels.
Throughout my career I have written commercially for corporate and small business, producing catalogs, magazine and tabloid advertising, as well as radio and television commercials- concepts, music and scripts. My diverse life experience has given me a unique perception of life, I feel, and a deeper understanding of the human psyche, conditioning and motivations.
From early 1999 I took up writing full time and my completed works thus far include twenty one books- including fiction and non-fiction, plus innumerable short stories, poetry and plays. In a move to better understand the industry and having had a broad graphic design and production background, I set up ARD Press in 2000 to both publish and market my books as well as to assist aspiring writers to realize their dreams of being published and read. I have held workshops on different facets of writing and publishing for the ‘Writing Right’ group at the Adelaide Writing Center and also assess manuscripts for up and coming writers. Tony writes for The Creative Exiles, All Poetry.com. Writer's Network, tonydwtf.blogspot.com.au and Google +.
All books are available on-line through Digital Print Australia/ Bookstore or Amazon.com and Kindle. One special book, published in 2004, continually sells throughout Australia and has done since release. The book ‘The Other Side of the Looking Glass- Living with Depression’ has been widely acclaimed and sold through beyondblue and DepressionNet as well as the Digital Print Australia Bookstore web site. It was voted among the top five best mental health books of 2005 by Good Medicine Magazine.
I live with my second youngest son in Campbelltown, South Australia and I am a grandfather of four from three elder children of a previous marriage; five children in all.

Words to Inspire...
Song of my Soul
By Tony DeLorger © 2014
My soul alive with good intent my steps imbue my labor spent, and I survive my heart relents the struggle that precedes me. My life is like no other bound, my purpose sought and meaning found; I can’t dismiss my hearts resound, my loving cause my will. For I can see the love within the darkest souls the heinous sin and bridge the forge to life begin and soothe a furrowed brow. Its truth that feeds a soul misled and honour found in sacred thread, the shell to crack and loving read reveals a life of bliss. Habits formed in ignorant life, where greed and self cause pain and strife, can be dismissed in compassionate ways, the hands of love a saving grace.
The sunrise marks a new begin, each day a life with or without sin, the choice to make for peaceful carriage, a life of sharing from none disparage. The path of peace if chosen brings the joys of life and pleasure springs, loving moments linger, sing, in open hearts desire. When souls imbued with love ensue the pain of life seems small. When deepest love, respect abounds and union feeds the soul resound, then mind and body meld as one in an earthly sate of heaven.
When two souls are found and become one, the world transforms and miracles done, and every breath a sacred act and every touch from pain subtract. Life reveals in whispered truth the simple love that executes, a world of vision and possibility for minds to imagine and then to see. Creating what we want in life can them become without the strife, in love all answers lay in wait, for loving hands to accept and take.
My soul it sings of all these things, entreating souls to love and bring the open hearts of all who know that peace is here to choose it so. We all have choice, in life and death, our paths progress in endless debt, but loving minds do release from this to the present moment in knowledge bliss. To find this peace within your heart search for it in darkness start, for light resides in cold dark places, to burn a beacon and transform those faces. Alone and lost in human waste, souls need love and finding place, to join the throng of hearts accept, that freedom lives within our chests.
'Love is a choice, freedom is loves reward. We are all free in our hearts.'
