Who would think that Australia would ever face the assassination of its prime minister? However, times have changed and the world is on a seemingly unstoppable path to a climatic apocalypse. Fed up with a long line of dysfunctional governments and a string of catastrophic climatic events, the country's citizens want action . However, the new PM McCarthy faces stiff opposition from desperate individuals who will stop at nothing to maintain the status-quo. He finds himself dealing with assassination attempts, nuclear war, terrorist attacks and treachery from within his own ranks. Unable to trust the head of the Australian Security Intelligence Agency (ASIO) unions or Big Business McCarthy has his work cut out and must convince other nations to follow Australia's lead. The characters come to life in this well-researched, modern and extremely topical, real-life drama rich in political intrigue, historical events, mystery and romance.

Always a Rolling Stone is a true story based upon one man's lifelong struggle and triumph over adversity. Likened to Frank McCourt's "Angela's Ashes" the story tells of "Terry's" abused childhood and action-packed career in the New Zealand Police during its transition from the hooligan days of the 1960's. Tasked with tackling Nelson's rapidly escalating bikie gang problem, Terry's family become targets as the local gang seeks to reduce the pressure placed on them by the one sergeant's special task force. This precipitates Terry's return to Australia where he and his family undergo considerable hardship as they seek to rebuild their lives. Ready to concede defeat and return to his beloved New Zealand, Terry suddenly finds himself accepted into the newly created Australian Protective Service (a former division of the Australian Federal Police)where he embarks upon a new career helping the APS establish itself as the body responsible for Australia's counter terrorist first response and airport security.

Likened by "The Joondalup Times" to Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes, Always a Rolling Stone is a story of one man's struggle through an abusive childhood in the postwar working class suburbs of Sydney and his life journey which included an amazing range of careers and accomplishments in the NZ and Federal Police, Parliament House WA, as a private investigator and small business. "Terry" served in police specialist squads such as, search and rescue, diving, armed offenders, team policing and counter terrorist first response at a major international airport and the tale is packed with many hair raising incidents.
