The man behind the magic.

An author, a devoted father, and a friend who makes people feel welcome, MJ brings warmth and generosity to both his life and his stories.

His first book was written in honour of his son. Born healthy, his son became seriously ill following a mosquito bite and lived with severe disabilities before later passing away from secondary infections. That book is a tribute to his life and to a father’s enduring love.

MJ’s writing carries that love forward. With an eye for detail and a steady belief in hope, he creates fantasy worlds where kindness has strength, friendship makes a difference, and even difficult journeys can lead towards the light.

Away from the page, he is a patient teacher, an enthusiastic dancer, and the friend who is always ready to lend a hand. His good humour and positive spirit find their way into his stories, giving readers adventure, laughter, and something to believe in.
