I’ve been writing now for nineteen years and have completed over fifteen books. Seven of them have been published-three in paperback. I’ve also had three short stories published with Eternal Press.  Since I lost my beautiful wife nineteen months ago I live alone with Bailey, my four year old Golden Labrador. 

All he wants is affection so I don’t have a chance to do as much writing as I want.  I also wrote the initial script for The Lion, The Witch and The wardrobe that toured all the Capital cities of Australia a few years ago.  I’m now trying to write some film scripts based on my books.  I have two of my books now on sale in Shepparton but would like to have them available all over Australia.  Some chance.

My publishers and books are listed below.
