I was 55 yesterday. For a change I did not feel slightly depressed or super reflective on my birthday. I think that since my brush with serious illness at 42 years of age I have watched and metered every year out carefully. Birthdays are houses of parties, and I am often aware of the house […]
It was a real honour to have Being the Bad Guys awarded Australian Christian Book of the Year last night at the Sparklit Awards. The standard of writing in Australian Christian books is high at the moment, and I think part of that is down to our “distance” from the bigger evangelical platforms. It feels […]
Today is our 25th wedding anniversary. I’ve gotten up early (as I always do) to write this. Jill seems to sleep her deepest at 6am. I pulled the blankets over her gently breathing body, covering her foot up, (one always seems to find itself astray and lie cold bereft in the mornings at the edge […]
TGC Australia’s Andrew Moody interviewed me about my forthcoming book “Being the Bad Guys” recently. It all happened before the US shenanigans of last week, but it’s interesting how in our discussion we speak about how the church needs to move forward in these times.

And increasingly dining table to dining table, family […]

My friend Dave and I have finished our e-novel The Queensberry Rules, which you can purchase from those good people/automatons at Amazon.com here. Something that started as an idea for a literary novel (I came up with the idea five years ago on a train from London to Sheffield and still have those handwritten notes), […]
With The Queensberry Rule nearing completion my writing partner Dave Cornford and I thought that we would put a bit of a promo together. We’re looking at a mid-Nov launch date.
If you are following the novel that I am writing with Sydney writer Dave Cornford, here is the next free instalment: The Queensberry Rule Chapter 3 The winter dipped into its darkest moments, hanging on too, despite the march of the sun.
