Based in Brisbane, he brings a unique dual perspective to his torytelling as both a retired Australian Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and Timor-Leste, and a proud descendant of Afghan Muslim Cameleers.His debut novel, Afghani, weaves together two parallel narratives that connect Australia's modern military experiences with its 19th-century colonial ancestry.

His mission is to inspire transformation and create meaningful change through the power of words. Read More Read Less
