Bio
I am a journalist/teacher by profession. I was short listed for the Writers’ Digest International award for Best First Book: Lawrence of Arabia: Desert Wolf. In 1998 the Catholic media in Australasia gave him their Best Feature Award for that year. I am also an author and my work has featured on Radio New Zealand. I have written sixteen books and have freelanced for the NZ Herald, NZ Catholic and various magazines in Australasia.
My writing presentations for teachers have featured in conferences both in Europe (ECIS) and the Middle East (TARA) and (NESA). I have also presented as an author in international schools in the Middle East and schools in New Zealand (LNNZ) and Australia.
I have worked as a truck driver, a fisherman, a dishwasher, a probation officer, a drain digger, a factory worker, a poker machine attendant, a scrub cutter, a drug and alcohol abuse counsellor and one night as a bouncer. Since marrying and settling down, most of my jobs have been in teaching or journalism and other forms of writing. I live hidden away in the Far North of New Zealand and divide my time between fishing, hunting (not much, possums mainly), planting trees and spraying for gorse and kikuyu, with writing thrown in on the side, during the winter months.
