Today I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my self-published book, The Country King!  It is available as an ebook, paperback or hardback to accomodate your prefered way of reading.

The Country King

is a short parable that I wrote several years ago and have recently combined with the beautiful paintings of my wife Lauren Adams. It follows the story of a youth from the countryside and his journey to the city where his kingdom awaits.  The parable explores the theme of potential - how that potential is perceived by the boy and by others.

A preview of The Country King is below, I hope you will take a look!
