Category: Raw Truth Thought Journal

At 35 years old, it was all supposed to be complete.

A loving wife, three or four children, one adopted, a successful writing career, and financial freedom so that money anxiety wasn’t a hindrance. 

I even moved countries, just to make sure it would all come together.

There was no way I would be the single guy at the prophesied ‘adult’ social dinner. 

How did it go so wrong when I really tried to fulfil this? 

I’d had the dream since I was 10 years old!

Why didn’t I succeed?

Was my request too much?  

Raw Truth Thought Journal is about life’s challenging moments and the spontaneous perceptions that emerge in my mind.

Now that I’m in no man’s land with an expired life plan, God at the helm, and faith through Jesus as my daily guidance, might as well keep a record to see where this all goes…

My purest childhood memory!

About Me!

A strong ambition about life, a wholesome desire for family, a great vow undertaken, and powerful disappointment received.... Submission. No more selfish ambition nor vain conceit. A path I NEVER thought I would take; surrender to and through Jesus; not my will but yours be done. Life has not been the same since...




For those enjoying my writing…

As you can imagine, the excessively saturated self-publishing industry isn’t exactly lucrative.

The books I’m writing are not only supposed to be interesting and entertaining for you, they’ve been put on my heart as a mission to be vulnerable and transparent about the harder, painful and sometimes humiliating lessons of life.

It takes approximately 4 – 6 months of full-time investment to write a novel of which there is no salary.

If you enjoyed The Paradise Induction and are eager to aid me in completing the sequel The Paradise Seduction, please donate below.

Every little helps…

The Paradise Seduction will be an episodic adventure, fictionally retelling the true story of my time living in the Caribbean, following the cliff-hanger of The Paradise Induction.
