Driving me Bonkers

 

A humorous approach to a serious subject. How we should safely drive to comply with the road rules compared to how we have been conditioned to drive by irrational behaviour.

Follow the twists and turns of our daily commute, from being stuck behind a Sunday driver on a Tuesday morning, the middle lane forever motorist, the annoying tailgater, can parking really be that difficult, getting in the wrong lane, to indicators becoming redundant. And that’s just for starters.

If you have ever found yourself having an interactive conversation with your GPS, this book may provide some enlightenment, and a few truths.

From the Author

 

Game shows can be quite entertaining. It takes a lot of time, effort, planning, budgets and format to make the show appeal to the viewers and to make it successful. From answering difficult questions to the witty comments made by the host whose job is to keep it all running smoothly and to keep the audience enthralled so they will come back for more.

The shows are light-hearted escapism.

Without contestants on the show there would not be much of a show. Each contestant is given a short amount of time to relate a story to the viewers.

This book is one of mine.

Read and enjoy

Consequences

 

A Collection of Short Stories

Actions have consequences.

A cast of flawed humans (and non-humans) inhabit these twelve short stories. These characters make decisions and take actions which have profound consequences for themselves and others. They are driven by strong emotions and desires -for revenge, reward, redemption, reconnection, rehabilitation, and more.

The stories are drawn from different genres (dystopian future, crime, mystery, humour, fantasy and psychological drama) but all reflect the central theme of ‘consequences.’

Actions and their consequences can set up a happy ending. (In one story, an AI assistant makes himself indispensable to a human family. In another, an executive with PTSD confronts his past).

But some stories end with a sting in the tail. (In one story, a frustrated doctor risks a patient’s life to take revenge on an old enemy. In another, an academic decides that murder is the only way to safeguard her career).

The Gift was shortlisted in 2020 Hammond House (UK) competition and published in their SURVIVAL Anthology. Antarctic Days was shortlisted for 28th Scarlet Stiletto Awards (Aus) in 2021 and The Journalist was short listed in Stringybark Stories (Aus) urban-themed competition in 2023.

Requiem For A Pandemic

A Post Apocalyptic Christmas Tale

A perfect balance between silliness and profound emotional depth, making it a truly unique and heartwarming experience.

The spirit of Christmas is facing its greatest challenge. After the apocalyptic COVID-19 Zeta strain devastated humanity, Kris, once known as Santa, wanders a desolate world. Depressed and aimless, he stumbles upon a struggling settlement on Coode Island and sees a glimmer of hope.

Determined to revive the joy and unity of Christmas, Kris seeks the help of his wife, Martha, and his old friends, April, the Tooth Fairy, and Harry, the Easter Bunny.

Together, they must confront the dangers of this new world and the divisions and deceptions threatening to tear them apart. As Kris battles to restore the traditions that once brought people together, he discovers his greatest fight is against hopelessness and despair.

Requiem for a Pandemic is a poignant post-apocalyptic Christmas tale of redemption, resilience, and the enduring power of hope.
