About

Me in 3: passionate, curious, creative. 

In my daytime I'm the Chief Creative Officer in one of the biggest online gaming companies in the world leading a team of 15 in coming up with branding and campaign concepts. 

My free time I like to spend with my family, Lenah and Aiden. We live in a townhouse in Sliema, Malta where the sun always (almost) shines. I also enjoy tennis a lot and after a match I like to relax with some red wine and good food.

I have finished my first novel The Wake-Up Call, which you can get through the Amazon Kindle store or iBookstore, Smashwords, Nook, and others, and I'm currently hard at work on the second one.

<p><em style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in the Republic, reason is the guiding light—two different realms, kept apart and at peace by a treaty and an ocean.</em><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions.</span><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself “the Daughter of the Sea and the Sky.” A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom.</span><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and perhaps their world as well.</span></p>

I'm a designer and I picked this book up because I thought the cover was appealing. Yeah, it works like that for ebooks as well :) But only a few pages in I was hooked by this Jack guy. It's like being inside his head. And a very entertaining head it is! <br /><br />The book is a fast and easy read, there are not too many characters to keep track of and the action unfolds very much like in a movie. You won't find a lot of description but instead some punchy and humorous dialogue, which I really liked. There's some unexpected twists and turns to the story that keeps you on your toes and you're never really sure what's going to happen next. <br /><br />To summarize The Wake-Up Call really has it all - you laugh, you're moved and most of all you're entertained. The only bad thing I can say about is that it ends too soon. So I'll just hope the author writes another book soon! <br /><br />Recommended!</div>
