FAQ

  • If Wilbur Smith and P.G. Wodehouse sat down at a bush pub in 1888 and co-wrote a novel with a splash of revenge and some fine whisky, it might come close. Readers have compared it to everything from The Burning Shore to The Dig Tree — so I’ll let you decide.

    Be aware though, if you are after a masculine hero; a perfect lead man who always lands on his feet, Jack Thomas, my main character, is anything but. He is flawed and impulsive, and terribly human. I like to think that he is my subconcious.

  • Yes, if you so desire!

    It is available as a standard paperback via Amazon, here:

  • Alas, not yet. I want Russell Crowe to narrate it, but for some reason he won’t respond…

  • I try to fulfill all orders within 48 hours of the order being placed, however, sometimes it may take a day longer.

    All orders are boxed and bubble-wrapped, sent via Australia Post

  • Absolutely!

    At checkout, you can specify who the gift is for, and the event too. I’ll then add it to the personalised note that comes with your purchase.
