The Ballad of Jimmy O’Reilly
It’s hard to make believe every day. I’m thinking about that a lot today. I suppose turning 100 will do that to a man.
But I have a secret, an inspiration, a guiding hand, and it’s been with me since the tragedy that fell across my path when I was 12 years old. It has always been there, like a person behind a sheer curtain blowing in the wind, never distinct and always on the verge of disappearing.
It’s a story that has shaped my being, who I am, who I believe I am at least, and has given me the confidence to try, and the strength to carry on, when the path seemed lost. It is a story of reality, a story that proves that we don’t see the world as it is, we see it as we are.
Perhaps it’s time to tell that story …

PAPERBACK
A true story of heartbreak, resilience, and a father’s unending love.
His Babies Didn’t Cry is a deeply personal account of love, loss, and the lifelong scars left by tragedy.
When his twin sons died at birth, their father was thrust into an anguish no parent should ever endure. Grief and regret reshaped his life, leaving him battling not only sorrow but also the physical toll.
Through raw reflection, he confronts the medical missteps, the weight of choices made under pressure, and the unrelenting burden of “what if.” Haunted by the suffering his sons endured, he writes with the hope that one day, when they meet again, his boys will forgive him for not being the advocate they deserved.
A moving story of heartbreak, resilience, and enduring love, His Babies Didn’t Cry gives voice to pain too often silenced and to the healing that can begin when grief is finally shared.

The Rise of the Morning Star
A GRIEVING FATHER. A MURDERED DAUGHTER. A LOVER WITH SECRETS. AND A MYTH RISING IN BLOOD.
When a former special operations soldier discovers a classified case file in his partner Felicity’s apartment, memories he buried in war and whiskey roar back to life. But Felicity isn’t just a high-powered attorney—she’s entangled in an ancient, covert war orchestrated by a secret order of women known as the Horsewomen. And they want him back in the game.
Haunted by visions, hunted by assassins, and driven by a rage he can no longer suppress, he’s thrust into a world where power flows through ritual, revenge is currency, and death is only the beginning. As cities burn and old gods whisper through bloodied
dreams, one truth remains: some wars are personal.
And some enemies are divine.
The Horsewomen: The Rise of the Morning Star is a visceral fusion of psychological torment, apocalyptic prophecy, and brutal action—a mythic revenge thriller where grief becomes a weapon, and love can ignite the end of days.

PREPARE TO THINK. PREPARE TO QUESTION. PREPARE FOR ‘TRUE WILD LIGHT’.
In a world on the brink, the seemingly accidental death of the Australian Museum’s Chairman unearths a venomous generational feud and something far more insidious.
Enter environmentalist Dylan Woodward, tasked with coaching a ruthless CEO intent on fracking Arnhem Land, sacred country for his tribal Aboriginal friend. But this clash over land and corporate greed soon reveals the invisible bars that underlie the making of men.
Just when you think you know what’s happening, prepare for a coach who probably needs more therapy than his clients and a gorilla with a pencil behind his ear offering poignant and humorous observations on the human condition. Could the roots of domestic violence and the climate crisis be disturbingly similar? This isn’t just a thriller; it’s a journey into our modern anxieties, exploring the weight of the past and our connection to the planet.
You’ll find yourself drawn in while being thoroughly entertained by the story’s unique characters and surprising turns. Uncover the secrets hidden within this captivating story and perhaps yourself.

and other approaches for addressing domestic violence
The “no” test is simple. A man passes it if he graciously accepts “no” from his partner. If he attempts to persuade her to change her mind, he fails.
This book will be of interest to anybody who is concerned about the problem of domestic violence.
The man who is abusive and the woman who suffers the abuse are often misrepresented. The “No” test provides alternatives to these misrepresentations so that a man can be held accountable for all his actions and a woman’s ever present resistance to oppression is recognised.
The “No” test is also a resource for those in the helping professions with discussions on the ethics of practice, exploring the importance of language and a chapter on the crafting of questions – the all important key to therapeutic conversations.
Finally, the ideas are demonstrated in practice in therapeutic conversations with four composite individuals, two of whom are a married couple. The four represent the diverse individuals the authors have encountered in many years of practice.
The book aims to expose how the problem of domestic violence is perpetuated by its frequent misrepresentations and in so doing provide a better understanding of domestic violence for the benefit of all.
Includes therapeutic conversations with individuals to illustrate the book’s core concepts.
