I have been writing in one form or another for almost 30 years and over that time my writing experiences have been in many diverse areas including technical, short stories, poems and a number of books.

I was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force for eleven years during which time I wrote many contributions to technical journals and submissions for technical modifications. 

Over the same period of time I wrote sports columns for local newspapers and began writing the first of my poems and short stories. 

I moved from defence to owning and operating a very successful business and during this time I honed my skills in the marketing arena including writing all my own promotional work.  

After selling the business to move interstate I took up a post with the Public Service where I have researched and written a large number of submissions to Government as well as many training programs on innovative strategies, forward thinking and performance management and improvement. My design of interesting and thought provoking workshops is well known. 

My first short story to be published was Michael’s Birthday, which came during this same period (1991) and this and many other short stories were products of my undertaking an intense course with The Writing School. 

My poems have been published in many anthologies, most notably “The International Who’s Who in Poetry” and another international publication, “The Best Poems and Poets of 2007.” 

My most recent achievements in writing longer works have been the publication of Room 22 in late 2007 and Arlington Reef in early 2008 and I have another three completed manuscripts awaiting publication, The Bloodline, The Spiral which is the sequel to Room 22 and The Priest.
