The Randomness of Me

A collection of poetry and prose for today and everyday

The universe is big.
We are small.

It is all too easy to get lost
in the immensity of it all,
caught up in everyday
living.

But if we pause for a few
seconds, breathe deeply
and look around we may
just notice how amazing
this universe is.

How each and every one
of us are unique within the
chaos of the heavens.

The Randomness of Me
is a reflection of lived
experiences from one of
these unique, random,
small beings in this big,
amazing universe.

After you Came

Stuart Kingston had enough of tripping over dead bodies during 1987… unfortunately 1988 doesn’t look like being any different.

As Bicentennial celebrations begin in Sydney, David Wyatt, a young gay man, is found murdered in an alleyway in Darlinghurst. With few leads, Inspector Carrington enlists Stuart to escort his constable undercover at Touchstone sauna, the last place that David was seen alive. Can Carrington catch the killer before more men are murdered? And can Stuart stop thinking about his former lover, the hunky carpenter Dexter, for long enough to be of any help?

In this sequel to The Day Before You Came, all the much-loved characters return, including Stuart’s mother Miriam, who has a new career on daytime TV, and his theatre friend, Winston, who meets a mysterious stranger.

So, strap in for another camp ride through the Eastern Suburbs, where anyone can be a murderer, and no-one is quite as they seem.
