Specific Influences: 1. For my book "Creating the Perfect Lifestyle" I have drawn on my life experiences in creating a lifestyle that allows me the time and space to live life, pursue my passions and achieve what I am on earth to do! 2. For my novel "The Simulan Game" I was influenced by action/adventure/futuristic novels and movies such as The Matrix and Terminator 2. The novel is written as if it was a Blockbuster movie in this genre. 3. For my children's stories I am influenced by my children, and the bedtime stories I tell them. I am also influenced by the stories I read and loved as a child.

My Novel
This Novel is written as if it was a blockbuster movie in the vein of “The Matrix” or “Terminator 2”. It is an action-packed thriller set in the future, so you could call it Science Fiction, although it is much more than that. To date it is 33,300 words and it will be around 100,000 words when finished.

Children's Story
This is a Children's story. It is influenced by and is somewhat of a tribute to my favourite children's book "Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame.

New Zealand Short Stories
My short stories, some fiction, some non-fiction.
