Welcome to my Website, which is designed to introduce you to my latest books. The Home page features Sports Talk: How It Has Penetrated Our Everyday Language, published in March  of 2026. The Books page features my two previous publications, which are collections of light verse.

It’s game on in uncovering the many sports-inspired terms, expressions and sayings that populate our everyday language! That’s the challenge that this book takes on, using a playbook for each sport.

After going for the fences and covering all the bases in the sport of baseball, the ball is kept rolling, despite many a sticky wicket, through the long-running game of cricket.

In due course, football kicks off with continuing commentary from the author as armchair quarterback, after which it’s out of the gate with wire-to-wire coverage of horse racing.

Finally, a blow-by-blow account of the sweet science of boxing is followed by play-by-play accounts of more than 35 other sports that have been added to the game-day lineup.

The discussion is enlivened by lots of sports humour and anecdotes along with quotations from sports personalities. Many of the words from those who are sportingly wise may sound quite familiar, much like déjà vue all over again.
