The story of Joe Hachem, and his rise from losing his career as a chiropractor to becoming world poker champ.

I think that before you can competently tell an entertaining and hopefully gripping story, you need to have at least some expertise in the subject matter that you are writing about which is one reason I'll never write about romance.

I've been involved in business and litigation for most of my life and my story-telling is coloured by the days and weeks I've spent in lawyers' offices, barristers' chambers and courts waiting for the wheels of justice to grind to a conclusion. I enjoy slightly changing the facts, adding a little violence than and changing the names of the characters to protect the guilty to produce what are hopefully enthralling business themed suspense novels.

Assisting world poker champion, Joe Hachem, with his autobiography, Pass the Sugar was enjoyable and an experience I'll not readily forget. I've just completed my next novel, Dirty Fracking Business, about the coal seam gas industry.
