Sharing Leadership perspectives with public safety professionals. When it matters most.

What is it about a young woman wearing stockings and a suspender belt, and no knickers, which stirs the baser instincts in a man? David Dunlop, having left his wife of twenty-nine years, thinks back over the other women in his life. His first love was Annie, back when he was twelve and love was pure. And then, years later, he found his first steady girlfriend, Wendy, and the thrill as love and teenage fumbling became interwoven. Carol came next, teaching him confidence and where fumbling could occasionally lead. And then it was Gina, and with her he had never been more fulfilled. With Gina ...

FOR ALMOST TEN THOUSAND YEARS THE KHILIOI HAVE LIVED IN THEIR CITY BENEATH THE REMOTE AUSTRALIAN DESERT, UNDISTURBED AND UNKNOWN. But every hundred years or so they have a need. The Khilioi’s energy machine brings a small aircraft within their control, causing it to land in the wilderness above. The Deka, the lords of the Khilioi, take the pilot and his girlfriend to their city, a city they will never be allowed to leave, not even after their purpose has been served – to provide new bloodlines for the Khilioi. Their time is finite. There is a limit to their usefulness. But how can they ...

DIAMONDS – EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR’S WORTH. ARE THEY STILL WAITING IN THEIR SECRET PLACE? It was the Japanese Zeroes which brought terror and death and destruction to the peaceful pearling town of Broome in 1942. It was the partners on the pearl lugger Lucinda who found the lone aircraft shot down by the Zeros, and the diamonds. It was the diamonds which viciously dissolved that partnership and allowed themselves to be hidden in the secret place. And now the sons of those partners each race to claim those diamonds, the crying stones. With mistrust fighting hate and with anger curbed by ...

TEACHING IN CHINA? LITTLE DID WE KNOW WHAT WE HAD LET OURSELVES IN FOR! These are the emails we sent home to Australia from the two schools in China at which we taught. They were usually written only hours after the experiences and emotions which they describe. They were written to friends from whom nothing was held back. They describe the schools, the teachers, the students, places we visited, and the experiences which took over the greater part of our lives during those two years, experiences which, it could be said, turned those lives upside down. They have not been edited, nor have they...

THE HIJACKING OF THE CRUISE SHIP OCEAN PEARL SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD. It should have been done without the death and destruction which they had experienced in Afghanistan, in East Timor, and in Iraq. But once begun, once the ship had been taken, death and destruction followed as it had done before. The ten former serving members of the Australian Army had all been bored, some in low-paying jobs, others unemployed. And so the subject had been tossed around until they had decided to proceed with Jazza’s idle suggestion that they should hijack a cruise ship for ...

SURREAL, SUPERNATURAL, PARANORMAL, TRANSCENDENTAL, UNCANNY?The Axe: The desolate Australian outback is not a place to become stranded without water. Is it the stone axe which leads the desperate man to think he has been saved? Or is it all in his mind and is death creeping up silently?Alfredo: Is it possible to place a curse on a violin, a curse which will hunt down the members of just one family? The Mist: The becalmed yacht drifts into a misty haze in the hour before dawn, gliding into the raging fires of an oily hell of wartime death and destruction. A wounded sailor in the water fights ...

THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE CURSE WHEN THEY FOUND THE JEWEL: A LARGE COLOMBIAN EMERALD EMBEDDED IN THE CENTRE OF A CATHOLIC BISHOP’S GOLD CROSS. The cross had been hidden within a secret compartment in an antique mahogany writing box they had purchased at the Dirt Market in Beijing, a compartment sealed for over a hundred years. And with the cross was an unfinished letter from a Captain of the 16th Bengal Lancers to his wife, telling of a brass chest containing church treasure and holy relics looted during the Boxer Rebellion, a chest supposedly buried somewhere in the city once known as ...

FOR FIFTEEN HUNDRED YEARS THE TOMB OF THE CHINESE GENERAL HAD REMAINED HIDDEN BENEATH THE PALE YELLOW CLAY OF SHANXI PROVINCE. It lay undisturbed until a twelve-year-old boy fell through the roof. He kept its secret. Fifteen years later, now living in Australia, he tells his friend Charlie of the terror he felt when he had crashed down among the grave goods. Charlie convinces him that they should go to China, back to Shanxi, and break into the general’s tomb a second time, but this time they should loot its ancient artifacts, the jade, the porcelain, the gold and the silver. But are they ...

THE ONCE MIGHTY CRUISE SHIP, THE SS PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, LIES QUIET BENEATH THE WAVES, AND AT PEACE. BUT THAT PEACE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. Deep within the now rotting hull lie several small iron chests filled with gold coins: double eagles, eagles, half-eagles and quarter eagles, all of them of rare vintages. The yacht Belle sets out from Townsville, Australia, bound for the island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu. The three young friends on board are determined to seek those eagles out, to dive, to cut and force their way deep into the bowels of that once mighty passenger liner. But they...

Philip Marlowe was a fictional private eye created by author Raymond Chandler. He was first seen as portrayed by Humphrey Bogart in the 1939 classic feature The Big Sleep. The fictional detective was introduced to the radio in 1947 and, by 1949, was the most popular radio detective.

In this volume our authors, including Ambrose Bierce, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Winifred Holtby, Bernard Capes and many others bring forth creations and contraptions that are both amazing and abstract as well as diabolical and delightful.

The Meditation Course Podcast is meditations from the regular, weekly meditation classes that I teach in-person or online. The classes offer continuous training rather than just an introductory course.

I run live-streamed meditation classes and there will be at least one new meditation each week. Subscribe now to my course websites for free to be notified when I post new content.

These poems are mostly drawn from the album A Vigil For Justice. A Vigil For Peace. and the EP Epiphany. I have written lyrics and poems for many years and have concentrated on them from the viewpoint of always being approached via music. So I thought it would be a change to work this way round - words first and in charge of the music myself, if any.

Marlowe finds himself in Lonesome, Arizona, on the trail of the loot from a bank robbery. A corpse that wouldn’t stay dead, a pistol with a silencer on it, and a fortune in a black satchel spell death for the big city boys when they finally get together in lonesome Arizona.

Eddie Mallet is being followed by a gorilla in a tee shirt with muscles out-to-here. Marlowe is hired to find out why, but not soon enough to save Eddie. The partner from Mexico City, the stranger dead in Nevada, and the man with the cauliflower ear all added up to a corpse on a concrete floor, but Philip Marlowe couldn’t figure why until he found out that there was one name above all that had to be remembered....

Murder on a motorcycle, as Marlowe goes to work for a millionaire trying to protect his daughter. An iron skull was their trademark, their business was climbing walls, and it was all done on wheels at 70 miles an hour. But that was a cinch for the death cheaters, until they felt murder and a feminine touch....

Marlowe is hired to keep a man from getting killed; he fails miserably. In waddles The Hippo, who always laughs, even with a gun in his hand. Marlowe is shot! Get this, and get it straight - crime is a sucker's road, and those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison, or the grave. There’s no other end, but they never learn. This time a nervous breakdown and a driving rain, a cape with a high collar, and a tiny sliver of glass led me from the ballet and a beautiful dancer to the edge of a cliff and death.
