Richard has spoken at many Readers & Writers Festivals from Auckland to Indonesia, is also an award-winning travel photographer, TedX speaker, offshore sailor (NZ, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Tahiti and Hawaii), and advertising Creative Director. Currently he’s writing for Substack under the title ‘But Wait There’s More’. Richard has lived in Devonport with his wife for over 30 years and has two children. He is working on a fourth book.

The Journey

Thirty Years Afield

Armed with many old notebooks and different cameras over the years, Richard has spent decades crossing the high passes and desert lowlands of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, China and South America, not to mention the oceans of the North and South Pacific. His writing captures the quiet, human connections that persist where others only see conflict in the world's media. With a literary career backed by major publishers like Penguin and HarperCollins, and now Comeragh Road Publishing, his work takes the reader well beyond the edge of the map.

The Craft

The Notebooks

Every book begins as raw observation recorded on the road, the mountain pathways, the desert trails. These pages hold the unedited conversations, from border guards to local tea house hosts, and the ordinary villagers whose hospitality seemed unending.

Now re-released by Comeragh Road Publishing, these narrative non-fiction accounts offer readers a chance to look back at a world that has since shifted dramatically beneath our feet.
