I was born and grew up in Australia though I now live mostly in South-West France. Although my early studies were in literature and politics, I pursued a career as a lawyer and law professor in Australia, Switzerland and in Hong Kong, along the way, writing a couple of dozen law-related academic and educational books and dozens of academic articles.Over the last couple of decades I changed my life focus to sailing the South China Sea, then raising horses in south-west France. Although I still does some academic writing and make contributions to journals, my first passion is literature. I have written some one-act plays but my first significant published novel is BEGINNINGS: Where A Life Begins, completed until 2013.I am researching and writing the second novel in this two-part series as well as other fiction books, notably a memoir focusing on dogs and his early years growing up in Australia in the 1950s and early 1960s. I am married with grown-up children and grandchildren.view less
