Behind the Books
Welcome to 'Behind the Books,' where I share the inspiration, stories, and insights that shaped my novels.
Here you’ll find the ideas, experiences, and reflections that guide my writing and the world of my characters.
THE FORK IN THE ROAD – Five Decades (FIR)
Premise: A journey through human choice, morality, and the consequences of actions over fifty years.
FIR is a compendium of stories drawn from decades of observation, reflection, and imagination. Each story explores the moral and ethical crossroads that define our lives, emphasizing the interplay of human values, consequence, and personal responsibility.
The audiobook version is narrated by the incomparable Stefan Rudnicki, whose voice brings each character and scenario to vivid life.
THE FORK IN THE ROAD – Bonus Volume
Premise: Continuing the exploration of human choices and ethical dilemmas with new stories and extended narrative depth.
The Bonus Volume brings together seven stories, including two newly added tales, totaling around 27,000 words. These additions expand the FIR universe, providing further insight into recurring themes of consequence, morality, and human resilience.
Stefan Rudnicki will also narrate this volume, continuing the auditory journey for listeners.
THE PRICE TO PAY (TPTP)
Premise: A novel delving into personal sacrifice, ethical decisions, and the price individuals must pay for their choices.
TPTP represents a culmination of narrative techniques, character exploration, and thematic focus developed over years of writing. The story examines the costs of decisions — both large and small — in shaping human experience.
With its upcoming launch, readers will encounter a novel grounded in ethical inquiry and emotional depth.
IF – Recitation
Premise: A timeless reflection on resilience, virtue, and the human spirit.
IF has been recited by me in countless settings over the years — from intimate gatherings to Sydney Radio broadcasts reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners. Soon, I plan to bring this recitation to YouTube, providing visitors with a personal connection and insight into the foundational inspiration behind my novels.
