Little did the residents know, three unsung heroes were about to emerge from the shadows, ready to wage war […]

When Sir Reginald Pomp declared he was hosting a housewarming at his new ‘modest’ home on the Mornington Peninsula, the billionaire echelons were abuzz with intrigue. For in their world, the idea of simplicity was as foreign as a life without caviar. Guests in haute couture streamed into Sir Reginald’s residence, prepared for a quiet […]

I fell into the building industry because it is in my blood. That might sound weird, but I believe building truly is in my blood. I come from a long line of builders. My dad was a builder, his dad was a builder, my great-granddad was a builder, and all their brothers were builders. To […]

Today I watched a documentary about common medical procedures. I’m not sure why I watched it, but it happened to be on the television when I was eating dinner, and I figured I would take the time to learn something new. The main section of the documentary I watched was about shoulders, and all the […]

You’re not going to believe this, but I’m at a car service again. This time, at least, it’s not because of any actual issues with my vehicle. After my trip to Adelaide, I was ready to settle back into my normal routine of being mad at my publisher for not letting me keep writing my […]
