All Bill wanted out of life was to be a normal bloke, and part of someone’s life... preferably a female’s life. On first glance, a reader might think this book is just another painful and sad love story, but that is not so. Bill was a walking live example of avoidable human disaster and bad luck... a sort of modern-day Medusa with an unforeseen hilarious side. The love part of this story was much more challenging, especially for all those helpful mates in the bush who had made a vow to help resolve Bill's biggest problem... finding a woman to love him. Then there are all the other interesting stories that just sort of happened around Bill... Remember, these are all true stories. Please do enjoy the reading as I did in writing them.

Loss and Gain is a philosophical novel which depicts the culture of Oxford University in the mid-Victorian era and the conversion of a young student to Roman Catholicism. Charles Reding arrives at Oxford University planning to follow the advice and example of his father, and to submit to the teachings of the Church of England without becoming involved in any factious parties. To follow the right views, Reding seeks a source of Church authority, and is disappointed to find only party dissension and the Protestant doctrine of Private Judgment. He begins to have doubts about some aspects of his faith, giving him thoughts of conversion, which greatly excite and trouble him.
