Love’s Longing Update

I have made a major update to Love’s Longing, one of my earlier books, first published in 2016. It has been carefully re-edited and given a fresh presentation, with beautiful new images throughout and a cleaner, easier-to-read format.

Love’s Longing is special in that it holds many stories from my own life—from childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, as well as from family life and the years that followed.

Most of the stories are not particularly dramatic. They are the sorts of things that make up all our lives: something funny a child did, something unexpectedly wise someone said, a fear that had to be faced, a change of direction no one saw coming, a relationship that taught something, or a difficult experience that eventually revealed a different way forward.

The stories create an energy field through which the larger spiritual ideas can be felt rather than just known in the mind. We all have these stories. The details may differ, but beneath them lie profound archetypal human experiences that lead to even more profound spiritual experiences.

Never a Lack

People often say they have a problem with lack — lack of money, time, love, opportunity, or freedom. But we are never without creative energy. We are creating all the time. The difficulty is that our conscious desires may be working against deeper beliefs about worthiness, struggle, success, money, love, or what we think we are allowed to have.

When life repeatedly produces something different from what we say we want, it can be useful to look beneath the surface. What beliefs are actually directing the experience? There is never a lack of life force or creative capacity. Don’t turn an abundance of creative energy into an experience of lack. That is like trying to breathe through a straw while standing in the vastness of open air.

Consciousness Continuing: Many Lives in One

I have long felt that I’ve lived many lifetimes inside one life. Entire worlds have closed behind me and new ones opened — different relationships, places, identities, priorities, and ways of being. Looking back, some of those periods feel less like chapters of one continuous life and more like complete realities in their own right.

Perhaps change is not always about slowly improving the same self. Sometimes we move into a different experiential world where another version of us becomes possible. Seen this way, we do not have to remain loyal to past identities simply because we once inhabited them. We are allowed to move, reconfigure, and enter a life that fits who we are now.

Enanika: Visionary Fiction—The Roof of the World

In Chapters 8 and 9 of Enanika, Anu is drawn far beyond the quiet streets of Milkwood into one of the most ancient spiritual landscapes on Earth — Tibet, the roof of the world. At the Hermitage of Ling-Shi-La and later at the Sanctuary of Zamsar, she encounters a living spiritual lineage that once shaped, and still shapes, the energetic evolution of Earth. These chapters move between worlds — Milkwood and the Himalayas, present and past — revealing doorways into the sacred. While the Hermitage offers transmission, the Sanctuary offers a love story.

The 4-book Nanima Series is Now Complete

The fourth and final book of the Nanima Series, The Flat, is now complete and available. It is deeply satisfying to finish not just The Flat, but the whole series, which has been a friend, confidant, and challenge for the past four years.

Spanning four deeply personal and spiritually rich books—Nanima, Geboor, Sonder, and The Flat—the series follows Maliyan, an insightful and grounded seeker whose path unfolds across the quiet towns and wild landscapes of rural Australia.

The first book, Nanima, was inspired by the rural area my family comes from in NSW, Australia. When I began writing the second book, Geboor, I moved from the city to country Victoria. It and the following books were shaped by the two rural towns I’ve lived in since then.

Alongside Maliyan are Luna—intuitive, witty, and playfully avoidant as he learns to love truly—and Bell-Bell, whose brilliance and volatility reflect the challenges of change and the yearning for wholeness.

The Nanima Series offers not just a story, but a spiritual companion. It invites you to walk the path of growth, to listen deeply to the land and your own spirit, and to remember that evolution is both quiet and profound.
