    About Me

    My Writing

    I have been telling stories and writing for as long as I can remember and I am privileged to have turned my passion into my life’s work. Please take the time to peruse my portfolio to understand my work and influences. 

    My Influences

    I have always been a student of history. We can learn so much from the past. When I first read Jean M. Aurel's 'Clan of the Cave Bear' I was hooked.

    Soon I discovered Wilbur Smith and Patrick O'Brian and a Historical fiction writer was born.

    Join Me

    Join me on my journey through the Pacific during the Age of Sail. From my early works to my latest, "The King of Stewart Island'. An epic castaway tale of survival and courage.
