For Your Tomorrows is a book close to my heart—a blend of storytelling, reflection, and quiet imagination. It’s written to entertain, but also to invite pause—to make you think a little differently about life, people, and the moments that shape us.

I’ve always been fascinated by the lives of others and how each of us defines “normal.” Some might call my perspective unconventional—I simply see it as honest. Writing this book gave me a chance to explore that perspective in full colour, drawing inspiration from places the experiences of My Great Uncle Walter, and thoughts that wouldn’t leave me alone until I gave them a voice.

Born in the UK in the 1960s, I have lived in a few different corners of the world, and now call New Zealand home. By day, I co-own a digital marketing company. By night (or sometimes early morning), I write, think, and sip coffee.

If you’re after something heartfelt, a little different, and full of moments that linger, I’d love for you to read For Your Tomorrows. I truly enjoyed writing it—I hope you enjoy the journey too.
