'Write what is in your blood…'  - James Joyce

ABOUT

Hi, I’m a published author, chaplain, speaker, educator and coordinator of university and community programs. I’ve written about spirituality, religion, personal development, grief and loss, and have several new creative non-fiction works in the pipeline, and a film script.

My most recent book is Listening to the Wisdom of the Desert (Garratt Publishing, 2017). Previously my major work was 12 Steps to Spiritual Freedom – Understanding the Christian Roots of Twelve Step programs (Loyola Press, 2014), a personal journey intertwined with a reflection on Christian mysticism and the Twelve Steps - a more expansive and personal work than the original edition, Steps To Life, (ABC Books, 2004).

I have also written a screenplay, currently at fifth draft stage, which was shortlisted for two competitions, and for which I’m pursuing further development.

I’m always interested in the link between creativity, spirituality, psychological health and engaging with the complex world we live in.
