Why Buy Direct?

Thank you for considering buying directly from my website. Every direct purchase helps support my writing and educational work while giving you a few extra benefits that simply aren’t available through most online retailers.

Buying direct means you’ll enjoy:

- 💙 More of your purchase supports my work.
- 📚 You own your DRM-free eBooks and audiobooks forever.
- 🎧 Instant delivery through BookFunnel.
- 🤝 Personal customer support.
- 🌍 Local printing where available.
- ⭐ Exclusive bonuses and special offers.
- 📖 Early access to selected new releases.

Save Money on Many Titles

Buying direct is often the best value because there are no retailer commissions. Prices may vary between retailers, but I always aim to offer competitive pricing.

For New Zealand customers, the price you see on my website already includes GST. Many large online retailers add GST at checkout, so the final amount can be higher than the price first displayed. When you buy direct, there are no surprises—the price you see is the price you pay.

You Own Your Audiobooks Forever

When you buy directly from my website, your audiobooks are DRM-free and yours to keep. There are no subscriptions, no ongoing fees, and no restrictions on continued access. Once you’ve purchased them, they’re yours to enjoy whenever you like.

Instant Delivery to Your Favourite Devices

As soon as you complete your purchase, your eBook or audiobook is delivered instantly through BookFunnel, the trusted delivery service used by thousands of authors and publishers.

BookFunnel guides you through downloading your purchase or sending it to your preferred reading or listening device. Most readers are enjoying their new book within minutes.

If you need a hand, BookFunnel’s friendly support team is known for helping readers of all technical abilities get up and running quickly. And if you still have questions, I’m always happy to help too.

Buying direct means there’s a real author behind every order. If you ever have a question or need assistance, you won’t be left searching through automated help pages. Between BookFunnel’s excellent technical support and my own commitment to helping readers, you’ll always have someone to turn to.

Support Future Books and Horse Owner Education

When you buy direct, more of your purchase goes towards creating the next book, audiobook, course, or educational resource—instead of retailer commissions and marketplace fees.

Your support helps me continue writing historical novels, contemporary fiction, and children’s books, while also developing practical horse-owner education through books, articles, videos, and online courses.

As both an author and an experienced referral equine dental veterinarian, I’m passionate about making accurate, practical information accessible to horse owners around the world. Every direct purchase helps make that possible.

Most importantly, buying direct allows me to spend more time doing what I love—researching, writing, teaching, and creating resources that inform, entertain, and inspire.
