A Word From The Author

Writing is a creative exploration that helps me manage my mental health and gives my life purpose and direction. In my fiction, the characters’ mental well-being is explored against a noir backdrop of criminal activity in Australia’s underbelly. Thanks to my lived experience, topics like psychosis are portrayed in vivid detail, giving you, the reader, an intimate insight into madness. Fast-paced, my novels seek to entertain, revealing layers of the human condition.

In my debut novel Crack Falling, I aim to deliver a raw and unflinching exploration of mental illness, corruption, and survival on society’s edges. This gritty psychological thriller pushes boundaries while avoiding the usual genre tropes, offering readers an uncommon perspective on the intersection of mental health and systemic abuse.

While the book may not appeal to everyone due to its intense themes and gritty realism, it offers valuable insights into mental health, addiction, and the abuse of power. For readers willing to venture into darker territory, this debut novel delivers a powerful and thought-provoking experience that lingers long after the final page.
