Patrick is well advanced in his research for a new book, The Coastwatchers.
This tiny ragtag group volunteered to stay behind in the islands and risk their lives by reporting on Japanese troop and ship movements. They were traders, planters, colonial officials, missionaries and a handful of sailors and soldiers. Hiding from constant Japanese patrols determined to find and kill them and using what today seem laughably cumbersome tele-radios, this heroic band sent signals that changed the course of the war.
Patrick has already interviewed a number of surviving Coastwatchers and is keen to speak to as many as possible and to families of Coastwatchers with diaries and personal accounts of their loved ones' service. If you can help please contact Patrick via this website.

 Patrick's latest inspirational book, Now Is The Time, (170 ways to seize the moment) will be published simultaneously in the U.S. and Australia in March 2009.
It will be published in Australia by Hardie Grant Books and MJF Books of New York in America. In the tradition of Patrick's best-selling It's Never Too Late series, Now Is The Time offers some small and easily achievable ways of taking control of your own destiny and living life to the fullest.
Hardie Grant Books will also be launching the hard-cover edition of It's Never Too Late in the UK market early in 2009.
