About ME
I’m a creative writer and speaker with interests in freedom, truth, language, and information. My home is in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Land of the Long White Cloud.

This website gives you a peek at the first book in the series, Why the Nations Rage, and a window into the other thoughts that occupy me from time to time.
