My old ‘Tales from the Riverbank’ Blog is here.

Wallace of Riverbank, my beautiful Schnauzer had a million hit web page. After his passing, in a story you can read in my book WHO LIES WINS, I switched my web pages from HTML to WordPress. I did not migrate the Wallace page but you can access the remains of the original WALLACE OF RIVERBANK page archived HERE.

A few stories from that amazing life on WordPress are HERE.
Some old News pages from Wallace are Here.

My much-read story from my 2004 visit to Cuba is accessible here. In the original 2004 HTML layout. A retro page.

My second book is a novel, published in 2015, ‘One Day in Paris’ recalls one year in the life of Dan Blake, a former soldier, based on a personality amalgam of highly trained soldiers I have known, who plans an attack on Paris in a Political Thriller which presciently foretold the November 13, 2015 attacks in Paris. It includes my take on the Macroeconomic detail of how elite profiteers work the Armaments Industry underpinning the US economy. Dan Blake is a complex character, possessed of an enormous skill set, educated to the highest level, trained to kill optimally. Blake is motivated by a cocktail blend of mental irregularities including; PTSD, narcissism, superiority complexes empowering invincible arrogant over-confidence, depression arising from a failed marriage and furious anger following his unfair discharge from the army. A man living with the ghosts of a lifetime at war as an elite British Army officer working counter Insurgency. He achieves a new level of power after love and marriage to the daughter of a trillionaire, the US senator, Bob Barrat.
Since then I have written more. My books list is her

Activism themes in my books include;
…….Anti-war arguments, awareness of the military industrial complex as raised by Eisenhower, drug laws that create a black market, being the gateway to criminality, financing more than 1/3rd of the worlds terrorism simply to service demand in the USA.
…….Monopolies. Like Big Pharma, working with drug-laws to service demand for commercial benefit by criminalizing users in a for-profit legal system, instead of treating addicts like victims. I have followed progress in; universal health care, universal income, and the end of all criminalizing-user drug laws. Equal education for all. USA gun law review and draconian punishment for crimes of stupidity, such as racism.
I try to boycott and avoid any business or individual associated with racism and the fascist hate of the conservative-right, or those who profit from the persecution and exploitation of minorities, whatever side they represent.

I am pro abolition of economic slavery and have been since before leaving South Africa in 1984. I am for BDS. I am anti Nazi since birth.

I have worked in music composition and production for four decades. I enjoy creating music above all else, writing alone in my studio, or with ‘name’ writers. My favorite instrument is the recording studio.

Since 2001 I have worked in a specific genre of New Age music using solfeggio composition for ‘healing, meditation and wellness’. I have written and produced 15 albums of this music type which have migrated from remunerative sales numbers in the CD era, to streaming media plays all over the world, earning me .$.00026 (or less) every time they are played. Thank you Limewire and Napster for ending payment for music.

My 2019 album DEEP SLEEP has generated many millions of plays. My most played album.

Mostly my music has rewarded me in the form of letters from listeners sharing the positive effect my music has on their wellness.  A joy that motivates me to keep working at refining my compositional and production skills in this very specific style of functional music production. Relating to wellness. I play the guitar every day as a meditation. Open-tuning finger played acoustic, causing strings to resonate at frequencies that assist my own wellness.
