'At the age of 21, I finished university and commenced employment as a prison officer in a maximum-security male prison. I worked there and at one of Australia’s most notorious illegal immigration detention centres for many years, in the capacity of an officer and intelligence/investigations officer. It was during this employment that I was exposed to many traumatic events that were to dictate my future.
The Diary of a Fallen Angel is not intended to revisit my traumas and triggers but to detail how I, as an individual, have coped living with PTSD since being diagnosed in 2002 and the change in me as a person, affecting all those around me.
My wish is to help other people living with PTSD whilst they rebuild their broken and shattered lives, as well as to give hope and optimism to all, including the family and friends, in order to support, encourage and give strength to those damaged souls.' (Poseidon Books)
