I've been an avid reader since childhood. I'd read while walking to school, sneak novels into my textbooks during class, and stay up late, immersed in adventures by torchlight under the covers. As I entered middle age, I found myself in a high-rise office in Hong Kong, questioning the monotony of emails, sales calls, and mind-numbing meetings.

Then, on a whim, I decided to pen a book. Inspired by my love for fast-paced, action-packed adventures, I dove into writing. The result? A book and a hero named John Hayes. The sense of accomplishment I felt when holding that finished book was indescribable. I had created something from my imagination to share with readers.

Unsurprisingly, I didn't stick around in that office job for long. Born in Cyprus, raised in New Zealand, I've spent more of my life outside my home country. My travels have exposed me to diverse cultures, extraordinary individuals, and breathtaking landscapes, all of which find their way into my books. My characters, braver than I could ever be, battle injustice and evil across the world's beautiful landscapes.

As for my current location, well, as I write this, I find myself in India, but who knows where the next adventure will take me?
