When demoralised Warren Yeats abandons his failing business, his ex-wife and his city lifestyle to embark on a road trip with more twists and turns than Sydney’s streets, he has no idea how gruelling the outback can be.
Reflections While Flying On Empty
‘Reflections While Flying on Empty is the work of a poet who has grown and matured and is now in full flight. There is a depth of reflection, well observed and expressed. These poems remain in one’s memory long after reading’ Joan Keating, Fryer Library, University of Queensland

An historical novel with supernatural overtones for young adults about Chinese migration during Australia’s nineteenth century goldrush.

Country
Australia is one of the most urbanised countries in the world. The stories in this collection, however, depict another Australia ranging from lush tropical wetlands to the arid outback.
Selected Poems
These selected poems are representative of a lifetime crafting and coaxing words into poems.
Realities
