CONFESSIONS OF A LIAR, THIEF AND FAILED SEX GOD received high praises from the judges. The Minister for the Arts, Mr Simon Crean noted,

“CONFESSIONS OF A LIAR, THIEF AND FAILED SEX GOD is a poignant, funny and deeply insightful rite of passage novel of a student who attends a Catholic boys’ school in 1967. The pain of first love and the morality attached to individual life choices is made contemporary in a work praised by the judges as one of tremendous honesty and integrity.”
