Watching Donald Trump on a daily basis burn everything to the ground reminds me of this passage from Fahrenheit 451, a brilliant dystopian novel written in the 1950s, which I am only reading now for the first time. I'm sure it's a book he and his ilk would love to burn.

The island of Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, is one of the most beautiful places I've ever had the privilege of travelling to. The video below is 5 mins and was shot with a micro drone, an action camera, and my trusty Sony RX100 M7. Best to watch it in 4K: youtu.be/6vY3xILzaOk

"I couldn't put this down until I knew how it ended. I never expected such intense characters and how they connect even when you don't realize it. The ending left me speechless. No detail is too trivial, even the weather." ☔️

A family trip to Nova Scotia, Canada, was an incredible destination and an amazing place to unplug (August 2025). Music by Crowded House. #Travel Video shot on on a Sony RX100 M7, DJI Osmo Action 4, and DJI Mini 4 Pro #drone: youtu.be/bA1kerhc0PI

Sometimes it takes 6 years to see a review someone wrote about your book. Josef's Lair was my first novel, a Nazi-Hunter thriller that delves into the politics and history of Israel, Germany, and Central America. Available in print and ebook: a.co/d/6sdL8oc

The colours in Nepal always seemed so vivid to me, drawing me in at every turn. I hope I brought some of that extraordinary colour to my novel, Gurkha, a magic realist tale set in 1914 in the mighty Himalayas of Nepal. It's available in paperback and ebook at many online book retailers. Photo: 2006.

Happy Pride #Toronto 2025. In these times, when some powerful people want to divide us and have us fight each other so we take our eyes off the real issue -- the consolidation of power in the hands of a few -- love each other and fight the power.

An important part of writing the novel, Gurkha, was getting the right imagery and energy that captured the reality and mythology of the infamous Nepalese hillmen, who became soldiers in the British army. This photo was one of the early images I came across that set the story in motion. #GoodReads
