Coming soon: Memoir

I joined the military as a young man, strong and keen, and wanting to rescue people in need. I had studied battles and wars as a history undergraduate; I had listened in awe to the stories of men, relatives even, who had fought in the dank jungles of New Guinea and Vietnam. As a kid, I decided my mission in life would be to join the Australian SAS. 

I eventually passed Selection to join the revered unit. Over six years, I fought alongside my mates in Australia’s longest war – the 12-year Afghanistan Campaign. I was professionally trained in warfighting by then, so I believed I knew enough to survive – how wrong I was. The cost was higher than I anticipated. I spent years afterwards rebuilding my life and searching for new purpose. My journey took me from  the USA to the jungles of Samoa to, finally, home.

A memoir, written in my own words, will be published by Pan Macmillan in 2021.
