Multi’s Gift to Nature

One day Multi, a young multi-coloured creature, goes for a walk on his own in the rainforest. Much to his surprise, the rose garden on his parents’ farm and then a tall tree in the forest start speaking to him. They seem to know what Multi is feeling and thinking.

What do they tell him?

Multi’s Gift to Nature shows children that their gift is to enjoy nature and it is for adults to find solutions to climate change. It focuses on a child’s well-being and their relationship with nature. The book is for 7-11 year old children.

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.

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

Green S.K. is a former infantry soldier and member of the 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment, with which he went on operational service.

He has also spent much of his working life in the civilian security industry and holds a Master’s in Counter Terrorism Studies, and a Bachelor of Social Sciences.

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.
