Welcome

Welcome to all the wonderful things that make our planet such a special place amidst a fiery, chaotic universe.

The aim of this site is to introduce you to a different perspective of the world, its subtleties, the hidden influences on our lives, the secret directives that govern our responses to the demands on our time, and our emotions.

My home is the southwest of Australia, where the great ocean collides with a strand that has survived for over two billion years, the rounded granite boulders persisting through cataclysmic splitting and joining of continents, burial, inundation, freezing and boiling. Hopefully some of this ancient spirit is captured in my writing and art, an echo, however fleeting, of the real powers that shape the earth and thus humanity.

Enjoy this perspective of the world – there’s plenty to see. The included resources can be used as a stepping stone to a broader understanding of the universe and our part in it.

Woven Fragments – OUT NOW

The final book in The Veiled Thread series

In this concluding chapter of The Veiled Thread Series, Harry has changed, the journey has been long. From a brief association with his grandfather just before he died, and a meeting with a cousin he never knew existed, to realisation that his life so far has been one long obsession with himself, Harry hopes for liberation from the darkness.

Woven Fragments Book 3

THE SEVERED CORD

The Sequel to The Veiled Thread

The lives of two men, generations apart, come together through the trauma of war and overt prejudice, and the phenomenon of intergenerational suffering.

This is not only a story of degradation and despair, but also of the resurrection of hope through gratitude, acceptance and a belief in the power of good.

The Veiled Thread

The Veiled Thread, Stephen’s First Book

Eiric O’Sullivan walked his horse the last few feet, up the steep rocky path to the top of the hill. A brisk cool breeze blew across the hilltop, bracing after the warmth of the climb in the lee of the hill. This was where he was meant to be. He knew it, felt it in the marrow of his bones.
