G'day, I'm Ty.

I was born in Perth in 1972 and spent my first two years as a ward of the state. For 34 years I asked one question: who is my father? Everyone gave me a different answer. At 53, a DNA test finally told me the truth.

Digging Up Bones is that story: the secret, what it did to me, and how I decided the damage stops with me, for my kids and my grandson.

The book is finished and goes up on Amazon on 14 November. I've done it on my own, with no publisher behind me. Your support covers the last costs:

Professional editing and proofreading: $1,000

Printing the first paperback copies: $600

Proof copies and postage: $400

Total: $2,000

Please note: no gifts, rewards, perks, raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways or promotions are offered in exchange for any donation made to this GoFundMe. Every donation is simply a gift towards getting this story published, and I'm grateful for every one.
