Print: $10.87 My poetry seems to reflect an inner turmoil that is regret and bitterness at no one and nowhere in particular. I do try to write of happier times and sometimes I succeed. My style I suppose is to write what comes from my head straight to paper as the poems almost always come fully formed, apart from spelling mistakes as I try to keep up with the flow. I like unusual rhyming sequences, grouping similar phrases in close proximity, but I suppose the overall style is freeform, open-ended. I think the feeling and image is more important than the rhyme.

Print: $13.61 Set in the safe and detached world of a religious retreat, "Triduum at the Novitiate" explores those inner, and sometimes disturbing emotions we all harbour.
The carefully tended gardens of the novitiate, serene in the sunshine, are the scene of an apparently random, brutal sexual attack on one of the Brotherhood. The sanctuary is violated, its sanctity destroyed, and the Brother is left traumatised.
Why has this happened? Who is to blame?
Can the highly charged spiritual world of the novitiate come to terms with this horrifying physical assault on one of its members?
The book is a beautifully written account of the world inside such retreats, with its total reliance on ritual and religion, but the book also exposes those deep and dark underlying currents of sexual desire and abuse.

Violent blue and red lightning had crackled over the five peaks of the 'Devil's Saw'.
Then in the weeks that followed came rumours of a tall robed figure occasionally glimpsed in misty shadows...
