I’m an imaginative Taswegian who loves to create. My time is spent in beautiful Tasmania writing and publishing books and games and I’m looking forward to my next foray into podcasting!
I’m very excited about what’s next in the Gift of the Gav range of colouring and activity books!

Book two inspired by my dinosaur loving nephew. This is a story book that you can colour. It’s also got a great game at the end designed to get the kids outside on a treasure hunt! The earlier you can get your kids outside using cognitive inquiry skills and observation.

Book number three… this was inspired by a visit to Bonorong Wildlife Park. If you haven’t been there it’s worth the visit!

This is a story that was developed whilst walking my four legged pal along the beach. At this stage I was exploring ideas and this one fell out the bag. It’s a great fun book with a positive message. Summer is coming so apt for beach side fun!

I love the simplicity in this book. And the song is sooooooo awesome. Thus is a great book for around 5 year olds+

I couldn’t sleep so I thought whilst I’m in bed, I’d revisit some of my earlier books and promo videos. I must say, I’ve been inspired to do more!

It’s been almost a year since registering Gift of the Gav as a business and now twelve months down the road I’m only just grasping what this journey is all about. And I’m getting real excited especially for an up and coming book on Street Gangs in Popular Culture!

I’m a bit excited. My proof copy of tribal threads has been shipped to me via Amazon. I’ll get to take a look at my book before it’s launched on the market just to ensure that what I’m offering provides the best interactive at a relaxing experience a gift of the gav book can muster.

For the youth work series which will feature a bevy of titles that include well practically everything you need to know to become a youth worker. I also want to work on the whole rebellious so rebel theme and will be launching a series of rebel threads on Redbubble and Spotify soon.

Book No.9 has been submitted to Amazon for approval. It’s always great to load the new cover and manuscript up and await for your work and diligence to be made public. Tribal Threads was a learning experience and makes people watching all the more fun. I now play a game of “guess the style”!

It’s always useful to have a green leafy retreat. This is one of the many creative refilling zones!

I am currently having great fun working on book number nine. It’s on youth and trends that highlight each decade from the 1940s through to today.
This is number one or the first book in the rebels without applause series and I am almost finished editing before it’s available on amazon.com.au

I am here to announce the purpose of my blue sky account. Blue sky and Substack will become my dear diary entries. Why dear diary? I think a diaries accounts of what goes on behind the scenes of a creator might be of some interest. Woo hoo.

I’ve had quite a busy day. Which is kind of amazing because I get very tired easily due to my sleep apnoea. However, as sleepy as I get I still make time to pull together to promote my next excising project.

Ok, it’s been a while since I last posted and a lot has happened. I have released two new educational-based books on the benefits and amazing origins of fruit (book 1) and vegetables (book 2).
Now, it’s heads down creating another four colouring and activities books.

This is Scissors. My oldest mate as he shares the same birthday as me. At 56 he’s an inspiration and makes sure that I keep creating. In fact he has co-authored three colouring books with me with a fourth on its way! Good onya Scissors!

It’s great fun creating colouring books. But it’s more fun making people happy with what you have created. A happy customer shared this with me. I’m stoked they bought my book!!!
