An Inverleigh man living with autism and cystic fibrosis is continuing to follow his creative pursuits after publishing two children’s books.
Darcy Gaynor is an actor, artist, YouTuber, and now author who has recently released two books in less than six months from The Track Troop series titled Don’t Give Up the Chip and Gold Retriever.
Mr Gaynor said the books follow the adventures of animal bush rangers as they attempt to stop the bad guys in some “funny slapstick ways”.
“I love that I finally bought these books to life, as I never thought I would be able to, and I love being able to get out there and bring things to life,” he said.
“I have always had an impulse to write a book, and now I have… also illustrated two books; the first one was pencil, and the second one was digital art.”
Mr Gaynor has also released the second season of his YouTube show Unique Equality, which shares stories from members of the neurodiverse community, people living with disability and carers.
“It took a while to find the right people to interview, but it was worth the wait,” he said.
“This season explores themes of how carers and disability support workers care for their clients, what they do to encourage them and their relationship.”
Mr Gaynor said he wanted to thank Kate Law, who helped produce the latest season, and the guests who helped bring the show to life.
