HAVING GROWN UP SURROUNDED BY WOMEN, A LIE IN THE TALE TELLS OF JOHN "JACK" ALEXANDER'S JOURNEY FROM BOYHOOD TO MANHOOD DURING 1960S WESTERN QUEENSLAND LIFE.

This true, often humour-filled, adventure of a city boy striving to become a jackaroo will bring laughter, tears and everything in between.


Despite his inexperience in the country, Jack's determination sees him overcome the frustrations, ridicule and hardship of country life. The trials and tribulations reshape him.


Join Jack, as he strives to have a reflection that truly matches who he desires to be on the inside...


"Quite the journey of manhood. Deeply moving and yet with moments of true comedy. Amazing debut work!" Harold, Indie Book reviewer

John Alexander

John Alexander's mother, Jennifer Alexander, was born into an army family in the early 1920s. She lived a full life; spending her childhood in India and travelling throughout Europe before air travel became unremarkable.

During the Second World War, Jennifer served in the WRNS, hopping on planes to London for the weekend from her naval airstation in the Lowlands.

Afterwards, Jennifer had two stints working at Queen magazine in the 1950s. In 1960 Jennifer married and the following year moved into the house in Surrey where the contents of Granny's Kitchen Cupboard were brought to light more than 50 years later.
