In a move that has surprised readers and publishing
insiders alike,
South Australian–New York poet and digital artist Dr. Terrell Neuage has made his
best-selling autobiographies,
Leaving Australia, Before the After and its sequel Leaving Australia, After,
freely available online—despite their continued
commercial success on Amazon.
The books, which chronicle Neuage’s unconventional journey from cult brother and astrologer
to tofu maker, single parent, and academic, have garnered widespread acclaim for their raw honesty and global scope. Their popularity has soared, breaking sales records on Amazon, yet Neuage has opted
to offer them at no cost for those unable—or unwilling—to pay. “It’s my gift to the world,” Neuage stated, underscoring his
commitment to accessibility and generosity. While the books remain affordably priced on commercial platforms, the free digital
editions reflect Neuage’s ethos of open sharing in the digital age. Readers and fans have applauded the gesture,
praising Neuage not only for his compelling storytelling
but also for his rare act of literary generosity.
