Hank Koopman
Hank Koopman is a former serving member of the Australian Navy.
DISCOVERY ROAD.
Chronicles the transformative journey of two teenagers who married at sixteen and eighteen after three weeks of dating and five months of long-distance correspondence.
Hank, influenced by religious beliefs, domineered Donna psychologically. Three miscarriages and a baby who lived one day impacted Donna further.
Did destiny play a part in bringing these two souls together for a greater purpose, enabling them to embark on a musical career that neither of them envisioned when they married? Boosted by his ego, Hank formed a band, further alienating Donna.
Then, like a miracle, Donna transformed her subdued persona into a self-assured personality. Blessed with a powerful voice and comedic wit, songwriting emerged as another talent. Once, at her lowest ebb, she wrote a new song directed at Hank, that finally brought him to his senses after almost fifteen years of marriage.
This book is a testament to a remarkable woman, Donna-Marie, without whose extraordinary power of love this story would not have been written.

A TROUBLED ROAD.
This memoir begins in Holland a year after WWII and tells how religious doctrines can affect a child's future. Nakedness was considered a sin by his family and church, but a nudist family living nearby made him question that reasoning.
Political and sociological differences within the family forced them to emigrate to Australia in 1954. A strong case of dèjá-vue materialised, with reincarnation being the only answer. Further family conflict arose, and at fourteen, he summoned enough courage to run away from home to chart his own destiny.
Two years of hitch-hiking across Australia and surviving several near-death experiences marked the transformative nature of his journey, as he emerged from a troubled road, a changed person. ...
SANTA'S GOT IT SUSSED.
A BOOK FOR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS.
Don't make a mistake: this is not a children's book.
Humorous interactions with children and their parents on how to approach Santa for that elusive photo, Grandpa and Grandma have always wanted.
What a fantastic insight into how we, as parents, have traumatised our children, by first drumming the "stranger- danger" warning into their heads, then taking them to a chubby stranger in a red suit and expecting them to sit on his knee for a photo!
Hank spent fifteen years as Santa in Tasmania and gained insightful knowledge of child behaviour when children first meet Santa. Parents are oblivious and unaware of any problems until their child gets traumatised.
I think this book should be mandatory reading for parents and Grandparents alike.
