G’day, I’m an Australian author from Melbourne.
I spent the bulk of my career in management, specifically in manufacturing and corporate. Nothing teaches you about human nature like running a team.
You see how people think, how they change, what they fear, and what gets them out of bed in the morning. That’s what I write about.
For ten years I wrote personal development books. My first book hit number one on Amazon in its category in 2015. I think it was beginner’s luck!
In 2025 I started writing fiction, and I haven’t looked back. My stories explore the same things as my non-fiction books do, things like purpose, second chances, empathy and waking up to who you really are, but they let me do it through the worlds and characters I create instead of advice.
Writing isn’t something I decided to do just because. It’s something I have to do. Ideas turn up, and I feel a pull to put them on the page.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me cooking, doing some woodworking, or out on my Virago. Sometimes I just drop on the couch and doom scroll on social media. I have to clear my head every now and then or I will burn out. Or explode. Either or.
I write for real people, not academics. I keep it plain, honest and to the point, because that’s how I like to read. I hope something here speaks to you, if it does, please click on the Amazon link below.
