World First - Brand New Cover Revealed! (Based on a true story)
The New Cover!
What do you think?
A teenage girl keeps a journal to battle her obsessive thoughts but
instead, documents a murder.
Based on a true story.
(No AI used in this cover. She's a professional designer who works for the major publishers,
that I've been working with since 2020).
Sydney,
2008.
Jai lives alone with her mother and
is prompted to begin a diary to deal with her questioning internal narrator. Her
world is shaken when beautiful and headstrong Laura breaks into her circle of
friends. Laura meets Xavier, a wild boy with dark hair and brooding complexion.
The result is more explosive than anyone could have imagined.
Why do people have to hurt others? What makes people do the things they do? You may think you have your friends figured out, but do we ever really know anyone?
When will it be available?
Not sure just yet. I've ordered a final proof. Hopefully before Christmas. Make for a great present for others or for yourself! Signed if desired. I'm keeping it cheap. Most new books today are a astonishing AU $34.99. I'll be keeping it under $25. Money is not the goal. I just want people to read my best ever book. It's beautiful, tragic, funny and most importantly, real. You'll fall in love with these people. Not characters. People.
It will be available on Amazon and on my website and some independent Sydney stores.

A lot of the time, I feel despair. It's a perpeutually negative mindset that I can't stop. I wake with it, loud and very convincing. Yet, I'm still going and times like now, and when I make those little videos, I feel my passion and appreciation of life. I feel my old self, lingering, fighting against the storm.
I wish I could explain it. I wish it wasn't there. I just have to ignore what my mind tells me so much of the time. It's very difficult to argue with yourself.
Anyway, I just want you to know where I'm at and how much I appreciate you being here. I do this for you. And for the little dreamer in me, still searching...
Peace and love
Always
Anthony
Out with the old (unpublished cover) and in with the new!
Hey my friend,
I hope youre doing okay, if not great!
True Love Kills is no more.

| I was never fully happy with this cover. The couple in the window just didn't work like I hoped. |
Laura is beautiful, but she is trouble. She is The Wrong Kind of Beautiful. And so that's the new title.
Here are two versions I came close to but ultimately I've gone with another. All will be revealed soon!
What do you think?
This one with the flame more resembles the danger that Laura brings.
So it's a theme I've settled on, even though I like the first one a lot.
The Final Cover will be revealed soon!

My Grandmother, who died last year (2025) left me this...
What Really Counts? Watch HERE
I'm so happy I was able to send my Grandmother this magazine, and others that I had work published in. I wanted her to be proud of me. I got my creativity from her after all. My father built a mud brick house by himself with no prior experience, but it was Nell whom I received my writing from. She wrote journals, travel diaries and put together family histories. No fiction but definitely a writer.
We were always close. She took me to my first cinema experience when I was 5. A re-run of Pinocchio in the 70's. And I remained her 'No. 1' (first grandchild), ever since.
I miss her a lot.
Thanks for watching. I hope you liked the poem.
Peace and love,
And I fucking mean that

I have an uncomfortable truth to share.
I have an uncomfortable truth to share.
Sorry but it's time.
This is in AI image of me (albeit about 20 years younger and a
helluva lot more good looking!)
This may hurt but it's important you know the truth.
Watch The Truth HERE
Now you know...
I'm still here, in this 'honest' capacity.
Take care for now my friend.

Timely message for phone users. + For Duck's sake!
Hey my friend,
Here are a couple of entertaining short videos. Keeping up with the (short attention span) times! 😉
Watch this beautiful, simple message
Get the Duck Outta HERE!
(Very cute warning).
These Tiktoks/YouTube shorts are simple but they do get so many more views than my arty video poems. Sad but that's what people want now. I have to adjust too.
I'll be scaling back my video poems, there's a few ready to go. Now I really just make them for me and if it resonates with someone, great. I may stop altogether. I'll see.
The Wrong Kind of Beautiful - The designer is promising it will be done before November but I'm yet to see any work. She's busy, so we'll see.
Take care for now my friend
Peace ☮
