Everything That Stands

Dare you push against the doors?

Will you brave the darkness to find your light?

September 3, 1978.

At the height of the revolutionary war for Rhodesia, twin brothers face a harrowing ordeal when their passenger plane the Viscount Hunyani is struck down by a SAM-7 missile.

In escaping the wreckage, Baron and Blaise Black, co-incidental players in a conflict they neither desire, nor fully comprehend, witness a calculated act of brutality that sets them on a relentless and hazardous journey through unforgiving African bush.

The consciousness of the older twin becomes a prism through which the complexities of purpose, truth, and conscience are explored, against the backdrop of civilians forced to confront unbearable choices.

With this debut novel, the author invites readers to extend their search for meaning beyond the doors of the known, to the undiscovered country that beckons to us all.

About the Author

Jeremy grew up in Durban, South Africa, during the turbulent, apartheid-era Sixties, and countercultural Seventies. For forty years, he has worked in various educational communities across the globe as a teacher, mentor, lecturer, sports-coach, residential leader, and consultant.

Apart from guarding against his life-narrative becoming an idiot’s tale, Jeremy nurtures a love of family, along with an admixture of literature, philosophy, writing, rugby, and swimming. He is married to Anne, a theatre-nurse manager, who spent her youth in Salisbury, Rhodesia. They are based in Hidden Valley, north of Melbourne, Australia, where their search for meaning continues.

Suburban Insurgent

A Veteran’s Crime Odyssey

The only way to succeed in Melbourne’s globalised criminal world is to cripple bodies, end lives, and build alliances, only to destroy them.

That’s a lesson veteran Jason Farrelly is about to learn first-hand.

Disillusioned, disconnected and in need of a violent action fix due to his operational experience, Farrelly uses his military skills and street smarts to obtain illegal positions of power and accumulate great wealth.

A Chinese gang, Aryan militants, and notorious narco kings all feel the full effect of contracting and brutally falling out with Jason Farrelly, the suburban insurgent.

About the Author

See you in Heaven

Seek and ye shall find… 40 days in search of Jesus

June 20
A crisp winter’s day
A Harley on the ground
No heartbeat
No sign of life
39 seconds
The kindness of a stranger
Ambulance on the way

Andrew awoke in a frantic Emergency room.
A voice exclaimed, ‘What happened, what happened?’
The paramedic responded, ‘I don’t know, I can’t explain it. The heart just started!’
Andrews was thinking, what do I wish I had told my kids? My friends?
He prayed, ‘Lord, give me the chance to tell my kids why I believe what I believe.’

This is Andrew.
This is his story.

Bandit or Priest

The mean streets of St Kilda, Victoria. The 1980s. Vice rules.

Moving to Melbourne after a youth of small-time crime, James quickly finds himself heading up his own criminal operation: the Locust Gang. Scourge of the city, the gang executes a series of robberies that bring them notoriety – and unwelcome attention from the bent cops, callous drug dealers and violent pimps who control the city’s vice.

But James soon finds a higher calling: he wants to rid the city of the vile heroin trade that has decimated a generation of kids and taken the lives of people close to him.

As he careers through the criminal underworld, meeting its villains and its victims, James will stop at nothing when it comes to delivering vengeance.

With a vivid cast of characters, Bandit or Priest pulls no punches as it uncovers the brutal, treacherous and seedy world of corruption, violence and organised crime in a city that is constantly on the verge of boiling over. Inspired by true events, it is an unputdownable story – and not for the faint-hearted.
