He has written four Young Adult books –‘Falconer Blood’, ‘Falconer Vision’ (finalist Amazon Breakthrough Novel of the Year), ‘Falconer Alliance’ and ‘Falconer Blade’. He is working, currently, on an adult crime novel set in Western Australia. He has also researched Irish and Carrucan history – with a family group. http://carrucan.org.au/ About ‘Falconer Blood – Book 1 Infinite Worlds’, he says – “Falconer Blood' was written for entertainment - not as a morality tale. However, one theme of this book is bullying. Bess says that Cassius, the bully, ‘struts like a crow in a gutter.’ This means that the behaviour of a bully is in the gutter and that taking pleasure in the suffering of others is the mark of a coward. Bullies are cowards. If you are affected – seek help and talk to others.
