Breathe in the magic that surrounds you.Let wonder guide you on your journey, each and every day. One of the best things about sharing life with a tiny human is rediscovering the world with them. Everything old becomes new again, and we're reminded of the wonder and beauty that surrounds us. I wrote a little book to remember this special time. Artwork was created with some help from my robotic friends. There is something remarkable about living in this time of incredible advances, where our collective brilliance and progress converge and we can blend human creativity with advanced technology; resulting in the creation of something that otherwise would not exist. This book is a tribute to the wonders of our era, where creativity knows no bounds, and miracles happen. Just like Donnie, who inspired it. $2 from every book will be donated to the wonderful charity, the Ronald McDonald House.
A colourful and diverse collection of art, language and culture by local artists who share a piece of their Australian heart.
I've been abducted, torn from my home, experimented on, then left stranded on a strange planet.>Things are complicated further when I find an alien.Or more to the point, he finds me. He won't leave me alone, no matter what I do. And, as we spend more time together, the way I'm drawn to him defies reason and logic-he's protective and caring in a way I crave. But then a contradicting side of him emerges-a wild beast driven by primal instincts, savage and unpredictable. And I wonder if I'm safer without him. As the line between survival and desire blurs, it becomes undeniably clear that there are few things more distracting than a sexy alien determined to keep me happy. I must be crazy. The way he looks at and touches me should be terrifying, but instead I really, really like it.

Ray's insights on modern South Africa and Australia make for thought-provoking reading. Moving, humorous and thoughtful - his is a life very well lived.' Tony Park, bestselling international author'Australia is one of my favourite countries and I have always wanted to make a contribution to assist endangered species. Ray arranged meetings for me with politicians and leaders in conservation in Australia to pave the way for me. His and my stories are so similar; I am Belgian-born and live in the US and Ray is South African-born and lives in Australia. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his book with all its ups and downs.' Jean-Claude van Damme, actor, martial artist and filmmaker and universally known as the 'Muscles from Brussels''After reading his fascinating story, I realise we have lived similar lives. Mine has also revolved around sport, wildlife conservation, business and serving communities and I fully endorsed Ray's Australian Rhino Project - our rhinos need all the help they can get. We are so glad Ray wrote this gripping story which will be such an inspiration to all who read it and I hope that, in both our lifetimes, we see the rhinos arrive safely in Australia and silence all the doomsayers who said it could not be done.'
