My Story
I grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand in a large family, with three older brothers and two younger sisters. There was never a dull moment with plenty of opportunities to develop my imagination. I was able to express myself through my writing, where I enjoyed and excelled with poetry.
But, it wasn’t until 2000 that I finally listened to my inner voice and challenged myself to become a writer. The first rendition of my Children's Novel 'Within These Walls' was written in 2002.
The original manuscript sat there gathering dust while I procrastinated.
Procrastination steals your dreams.
Don't let the fear of success or failure steal your dreams. Don't spend your life wondering 'What If.'
Now I strive to learn and develop my literary style, approaching every challenge I come across as an opportunity to grow and develop as a writer.
​
I am blessed to have a Loving, amazing and supportive Wife, Karen and three amazing and inspirational Children. They inspire me every day to write my stories. There will never be a better time to follow your dreams than NOW. Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can achieve today. Always back yourself, remain positive and NEVER settle for second best.
