About the author

I am an aspiring author honing my writing skills and developing my voice as I write and publish my first novel.

I was born and raised in South Africa and have been living in the United Arab Emirates with my wife for over a decade.

I am passionate about coffee. I'm constantly working on creating the perfect espresso when I'm not writing or working my day job. They say that perfection starts with, 36 grams out, from 18 grams in, within 30 seconds of brewing time. I’ve been flummoxed by this for over a year.

Besides coffee (lifeblood), I am a lapsed runner but back in training and finding my stride.

I look forward to writing a regular newsletter and providing information and content on my books. The first has the following working title, The Boxer’s Brother. Visit the web page for more information.

I invite you to join me on my journey to publication. On the way, I’ll provide deeper insights into my characters, their back stories and the story world as well as ideas for other projects.
