Where Every Indie Book
Has a Place to Be Found

I went to the Falklands War as a young man, carrying all the fear, pride, and uncertainty that come with being thrown into conflict long before you truly understand its cost. What I witnessed there stayed with me long after the fighting stopped. Eventually, I was diagnosed with PTSD — though at the time, I didn’t have the words, or the courage, to talk about the horrors I’d seen. A counsellor gave me a simple instruction: “Write down your thoughts and feelings.” It sounded almost trivial, but it became the turning point of my life. I picked up a notebook and began scribbling — raw memories, fragments of emotion, things I had buried for years. Those scribbles slowly took shape, and before I realised it, they became the foundation of my first book. Writing gave me a voice when I felt voiceless. It gave me a way to process the trauma, honour the men I served with, and make sense of the shadows that followed me home. I haven’t stopped writing since. What began as therapy became a passion, a purpose, and a way to connect with others who carry their own invisible wounds.
