Thanks for visiting my site! I live on the mid north coast of New South Wales, Australia in a quiet bay side village with my wife and our three cats.
It feels great to have the opportunity to finally start getting my stories out of my head and onto the page where I can share them with others. If I’m totally honest, I began writing 30+ years ago, but the serious stuff started happening in 2016.
I have spent most of my working life in engineering and management and, when faced with being forced to retire (medically) I needed an outlet. I began writing in earnest, and in 12 months had a manuscript to send to an editor. The first response was “it’s too long and should be a trilogy”. Another year later and Chronicle of the 12th Realm was born.
I like to write about people who are forced to tackle situations – people just like you and I who rise to the challenge. I believe that no matter how advanced, no matter what technology we invent, human beings will always define their existence by their actions, both individually and collectively.
I don’t have superheroes (I’ve never actually met any) but I explore the real physical and metaphysical abilities people have. I take examples from life – emotions, love, despair, romance – and infuse these into my characters and plots. I enjoy using literary license to enhance my stories, design alien species, and describe future technologies. After all, I am a science fiction writer!
I hope you enjoy reading my books and, being part of this journey with me.
