Hello! I’ve always been fascinated by history and would love to travel back and witness past events – the mundane as well as the momentous. But seeing I don’t have a time machine, the next best thing is to write about it. My writing career comes after 40+ years working at various occupations – labourer, waiter, musician, clerk, bookie, public servant, copywriter, consultant, corporate director and filmmaker (not to mention husband, father and grandfather). These gigs didn’t make me rich, but they were rich in reward, and I draw upon them to write stories that are as authentic as I can make them. I’ve travelled a good slice of the world, but still have many more things to see and experience. I live on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia, and have lived and worked in South East Asia and New Zealand. My books accentuate the positive things in life – optimism, determination, dignity of self and others, and a damn good laugh now and then. My stories are briskly paced, with colourful characters that will inspire and entertain you. Come with me on a journey to experience special people and places in time – stories that beckon you back to days gone by.
