Living and Learning
Iris Mae Braithwaite is a very wealthy, altruistic and brave woman. Having inherited a fortune along with a Georgian-style mansion, she opens a boutique boarding school in the historic city of Ballarat, in Australia, for ten teenage girls.
Anyone who has raised teenagers, survived teenagers or simply been a teenager themselves will appreciate the roller coaster ride that guiding and teaching fifteen- and sixteen-year-old girls inevitably becomes.
Pranks and personality clashes, achievements and heart-wrenching experiences abound as the students live and learn in new circumstances.
Has Iris made a grave mistake hiring her killjoy cousin Estelle to teach Maths and Science? Along with her erstwhile brother, Jeremy, Estelle plots to undermine the school in hopes of getting her hands on the inheritance. Perhaps Miss Braithwaite has bitten off more than she can chew.
Do all the girls even make it to the end of Year Nine? Will Iris’ vision for Makepeace College survive even the first year of the two-year scholarships she awarded?
Can heartache and headaches be counteracted by a good dose of tongue-in-cheek humour?

Extraterrestrials, Humans and their Religions, The evolution of evolution
This book is about the potential impact that first contact with more advanced extraterrestrials may have on human civilisation, with particular emphasis on major religions.
The book attempts a realistic review of the present physical, intellectual, ethical, social and religious state of humanity and the risk it faces of causing its own demise or even extinction.
The book examines the violent nature of Darwinian evolution and argues that humanity is not doomed to remain in this violent stage of its development by force of anything in the universe. Its continuation is the default position that arises from humanity’s failure to rise to the challenge of change and social growth.
