In the mid 1980s when I left the TV station where I worked, to become a full-time writer, the station's cartoonist drew this image of me. The piles of rejection slips were no exaggeration at that time, but thankfully no longer. Thank you everyone for your continued support over the decades.

What a review! It's wonderful to know that my novel, 'Cafe Puccini', has brought comfort to someone with health issues. Wellbeing comes from finding the goodness and joy within ourselves, and laughter, fun, and a heartwarming story are always the best medicine. www.amazon.com.au/Caf%C3%A9-Pu...

Many people claim that vegans have no right to 'force' their beliefs on others. However, vegans openly offer only peace, love & empathy in the hope that those compassionate elements will be passed onto our animals friends & save at least some of their lives. #SayNoToCorpseFood

To almost all wild animals, humans are the terrorists.

Meet and greet, or should I say 'meat and greet', Armillifer grandis. This is a species of tongue-worm found in meat. Lots of meats contain parasites. Some can survive cooking, and parasites can cause serious health issues. Don't want to eat disgusting parasitic worms? Go vegan.

This basically demonstrates that if you eat meat your soul belongs in some dark place, and you need to think of some way of getting the hell out of there, because YOU are creating hell for these animals. Becoming vegan is the way out.

If the world could live by, and adhere to these principles of love and commitment, and apply them to all species, then we truly would be living in peace and harmony with both our physical and spiritual selves.

Totally poignant, completely true and astonishingly beautiful. Vegans are the only people in the world who truly understand this.

People who kill animals for fun, sport or any reason are sick-sick-sick and need to seek help to be a real person, a strong person, a person with character, and not some mucky sociopathic schmuck with murderous tendancies.

Cats without a home, like any animal, need love, care, food and more love. Giving a homeless animal a chance in life is also a way of affirming one's own inner goodness. There is no substitute for compassion. It defines who we are. Spread the love. Give cats a home.

I think the most beautiful people are the ones who admire the world around them. The ones who get excited about stars & who find peace in sunsets. The ones who cherish deep conversations, the ones whose presence is like a blessing for those around them 🫶 ~ liveinthemoment

Humans like to use chains as a mechanism of control. Sometimes the chains are psychological, but mostly they are physical, and are used to control non-human species. Yet every use of chains is the act of a controlling sociopath. All humans and non-humans should live free.

And I returned to my grotto among all the palm-trees & colourful parrots [also suffering from myopia], bringing with me two new pairs of spectacles, & all the geriatric glasses in the grotto gathered in awe to worship at the feet of the newly crowned gods.🤓 [Kind of a true story].

Congratulations to the Labor Party Australia for the smash win in today's federal election. This win proves that MAGA inspired political parties are doomed around the world. No one wants Trump II Well done everyone who voted for common sense, the environment, animals and all human rights.

Australia take note: right wing Nazi governments are not welcome anywhere. Vote for peace, the environment and animals, not some nutter's nuclear nightmare.

Hunters rage at me, claiming that they do it to aid the environment, but excuses for unconscionable violence and blood-lust are everywhere, and have no restrictions. A wolf kills because it is hungry. A human kills for the joy of killing, and there is no excuse for that.

Enslavement is a human trait. We have been enslaving humans and other species for centuries. Yet, after all that time, we still persist in torturing animals to death.
