Within these pages you'll find various stuff written by me, some jointly with somebody else, others by me alone (proper credit is given on each page, don't worry!). I've decided to make most of what I've ever written freely available to anyone who may find anything in it of interest - a forewarning, the quality varies! If you come across something you think is rubbish, don't discount the entire archive, because I haven't actually sifted out the wheat from the chaff.

The reason I've decided to do this at this point is quite simple, but needs a bit of explaining. After quite a long, rewarding and colourful career (you'll see what I mean when you look at the variety of material available on this website), in 2004 God blessed me and my spouse with a beautiful baby girl. It is my firm conviction that babies are meant to be raised by their mommies, so I'm now a busy and very happy stay-at-home-mom. Of course I can still write, and I do. When invited, I do also still take the occassional event, be it as a speaker, a seminar or workshop leader, or as a musician.

I believe that God gives us gifts so that we can share them with others. Looking over the storehouse of material I've accumulated, I feel that somebody somewhere will probably find something helpful / informative / refreshing / (insert your own term here!) amongst what I've written. If you don't like what you read, please just leave, nobody's forcing anything on you. If you do like it, please browse to your heart's content! (And please do SIGN MY GUESTBOOK too, with comments on the article you've read - the link is on the relevant pages). And do take note of my copyright notice at the top of this page, thanks!

Oh yes, one last point to note. The contact information seen on most of the journal or conference papers is out of date (these papers are years old now!) If you really do want to contact me, please use this link.
