Mr Eussen was excited to launch his new book last week and said it something that he has wanted to do for a long time.
“I used to work on stations years ago after I left school and I used to do a lot of hunting and fishing so I got myself a littlecamera and that’s how it started off,” he said.
“I started off hand writing all of my articles and if you had a good story to tell in those days someone would put it into gear and make it readable.
“I am excited to launch my first fiction book I hope it sells and it could even make a good movie.”
