I want to give people a fresh lens to see those around them. Everyone has a story, every life matters — and if I can touch someone or give a little hope, I’ve done my job.

The Birthmark Murders has been brewing for 40 years. I anchored it in my theatre director days — easier to draw water from a well I knew. It’s the first in a six-book arc following Pekka Wall from doubt to love, loss, and “rebirth.” I wanted an older gay protagonist with depth, and a contrast in the way younger gay men handle relationships.

Boredom, I was in a hospital isolation ward during the covid apocalypse. I began writing up events that took place in an online Sci-fi RPG myself and friends were playing, I wrote, from my characters point of you, enjoyed it, much not as much when I tried the same with a fantasy RPG we played.

The Adventures of Warlord Whitetail is the story of Suzie Sue Jefferson Whitetail and her band of rabbit doe warriors, warriors who were recruited not only for their expertise with the bow of their choice, but also with the straight blade. They are oathsworn to protect the citizens of the safe haven of Badgers Brewery and Freepawt, to the death.

I was born with a gift and when I moved into my country home in 2006 my gift really came alive. I was first approached by Cole and his Sergeant dressed in full British Military uniforms from the year 1822 carrying rifles with bayonets attached to the ends. Private Cole spoke to me and when the soldiers realised that not only could I see them but could hear them as well...my nights were never the same. Since that evening I have been approached by modern day spirits of fallen soldiers each with a unique story to show me through their eyes so that I can capture their experiences of warfare that they want me to share. Their stories are both important and captivating showing the real cause and effect of wars. Will we learn from them? Only time will tell.

Whoops! Looks like I said it all above...

I have watched and read zombie movies and films for years and always wanted to have one set in Scotland. This is what drove me to create After the Fall.

I'm a family man, several kids and enjoy spending as much time with them as I can. They take up most of my free time outside of normal day job.

It all started when an author visited my school. Watching them bring stories to life made me realize two things: first, that writing books was actually a thing real people could do, and second, that there weren’t nearly enough books aimed at kids who didn’t love reading—especially boys. I wanted to change that. I started writing funny, fast-paced stories packed with twists, humour, and just enough chaos to keep even the most reluctant readers hooked. My goal has always been simple: make kids laugh, make them curious, and make them want to read the next page.

Absolutely! The Itchygooney Witch is a spooky, twist-filled mystery featuring my favourite trouble-magnets, William and Thomas. It’s Halloween in the town of Itchygooney, and when their neighbour Mrs. Bumble suddenly goes away, the boys start seeing strange lights, eerie shadows, and a mysterious symbol burned into the grass. Obviously, the only logical explanation is… witchcraft. With cellphones in hand and curiosity dialed to max, they launch a full-blown investigation. What they uncover is a mix of tricks, treats, and a revenge plan so sneaky it could only come from two elderly masterminds. It’s got laughs, suspense, and a final twist that might just make you question everything—even who’s really in charge of the firepit.

THE SUPERFLARE is my latest book, published also in German as DER SONNENSTURM. The initial idea was to consider what would actually happen if all digital devices stopped working overnight. We are becoming more and more dependent on AI and countless digital helpers – smartphones, navigation devices, laptops, iPads, tablets, smart TVs, smartwatches, Alexa, Siri, Cortana, smart homes, Google, the Internet, etc. But what if all those helpers suddenly stopped working? A worldwide EMP, triggered by a gigantic solar storm, could do the trick. Based on this idea, I started to design possible scenarios that branched out and condensed more and more during the writing process.

The fear of machines, robots, and artificial intelligence has been as old as humanity’s longing to simplify their lives, enhance their capabilities, or even – as “homo deus” – create a new life form: Artificial Intelligence. Professor Yuval Noah Harari describes this process and its potential consequences in his book “Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.” His concern is that artificial intelligence might not make humans all-powerful but rather render them obsolete. When I began writing THE SUPERFLARE several years ago, these thoughts were on my mind as I developed the character of TRON, an artificial super-intelligence that plays a central role in my novel.

I was a pastor for 15 years which required a lot of creative techniques to tell the story of Jesus in ways that would inspire and captivate a large audience. After retiring from that I wanted to take those skill and turn them to creative story telling for a whole new audience in a genre I am fascinated about.

My book is my first attempt at short stories and self publishing. It really just came from a brainstorming idea from some AI art i made.

I read book after book and none of them had anything like the story that was in my head. So, one day I decided the only way I was going to read that book, was if I wrote it.

My latest book is set in Far North Queensland. It is a case of opposites attract, he's Nephilim and she's a Druid Human. He comes from a line of Fey 'royalty'. She comes from a line of outback bogans. He is invited to her home for the weekend to meet her family leading to a series of comical situations. In the space of only a few days, Doran and Zoe must deal with not only her cantankerous father and interesting family dynamics, but also the wild tropical weather. It is an equally wild ride of laugh out load fun and steamy romance....until one of their lives is on the line!

It's corny, but it was a dream. Sad, I know, but true. I woke up so captured by the story, wondering what would have happened if I'd stayed asleep and how had I got there? I ended up writing it down.

The last book I wrote was set in a hospital. A Piece of my Heart is a story about a woman in hospital and a visitor, meeting every day in the hospital cafe.

I’ve always been fascinated by science and technology and the intense emotions stirred by love stories. Hence, I started wondering, “How powerful can love be?” I wanted to explore the specific case of alien romance, unrequited love, impossible love, and fatal attraction within the science fiction background. Once aliens meet humans, their different origins can play a decisive part in a unique plot that could not possibly happen had the lovers been only humans. The main characters in the book are unique to the story and are inspired by it. I created my protagonist to be smart, beautiful and fiercely independent, stirring strong emotions from humans and aliens alike and creating a love triangle from which true, all-powerful love finally triumphs.

I find great joy in writing from the comfort of my home office, where a cosy ambience inspires creativity. The walls are lined with my favourite books and astronomy pictures taken during my past journeys. As I write, I immerse myself in the inspiring melodies of my carefully selected playlists, which fill the room with a sense of wonder. This perfect environment allows my thoughts to flow freely, making the writing process a truly fulfilling experience.
