  • About Me

    As far back as I can remember I have always enjoyed writing. I was the only kid in the class who, when told to write an essay, would shout hooray while my classmates were groaning!
    Between 1990 and 2005 I wrote articles for several Australian magazines, and, via the internet, I had a fortnightly column in a Florida newspaper. Now I write literary fiction and some genre fiction. In 2010 I was lucky enough to be chosen as a top contender for The Glass Woman Prize.

    I have been published/or have upcoming work in Electicism, Battered Suitcase, Red River Review, Boston Literary Magazine, Meat For Tea, Eclectic Flash, eFiction, Foundling Review, The Pages, Heron's Nest, Fast Forward Press, Buzz Words, Melbourne Poets Union, Admit2, Islet Magazine, Fiction Shelf, Short Story America and Bohemyth.

    My short story collection, City Paddock, published by Ginninderra Press, is available online: http://www.ginninderrapress.com.au/. The first year of royalties from this book were donated to The RSL Creswick Light Horse Troop of which I am a member. We help wayward youth and save unwanted race horses from being slaughtered.
    In April 2012 Certys UK, published my first novel, Cyber Rules. On behalf of this e-book, in it's first year I raised $1,042 for MSF - Doctors Without Borders.

    Why do you write?

    I need to write to connect with myself and then I need to share to connect with others.

    Any favorite authors? Books?

    All the old classics esp anything by Thomas Hardy, Robert Louis Stevenson, George Eliot.
    Other favourite authors: Martina Cole, Bill Bryson, Peter Temple, Terry Pratchett, Peter Carey.
    Stephen King's book, 'On Writing'. Miss Smilla's feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg - brilliant passage about how she makes love with a man in a way I have never heard of before - those of you who have read this will know what I mean! Tom Keneally's A River Town. Rose Tremain's The Road Home. Hundreds more, too many to list!

    Yes, the Tigers were quite a bunch. What a thrill to actually meet a real war hero. I recall those war years clearly, and it didn't look good for the U.S. for the first six months. And now the U.S. and Japan are good friends! Go figure.

    Hello Myra! How are you? I've been away from fictionaut for a while, lots of catching up to do (my usual pattern!). Thanks for stopping by Flesh & Blood and your lovely comment.

    Michelle Elvy – Jul 25, 2010

    Bill Yarrow – Jul 22, 2010

    Michelle Elvy – Jul 21, 2010

    Ah, Myra, Myra, MYRA!! Did not confuse you at all, just the names... sorry but as you say you are in excellent company! Broken Mirrors is still with me today -- I read some heavy stuff last night late, all of it so very good.

    Jack Swenson – Jul 21, 2010

    Myra, I think I STILL believe in evil humors. There has to be some explanation!

    Michelle Elvy – Jul 21, 2010

    Ah, thanks, Myra, for your enthusiasm and star on French Kiss! Good to meet up again!

    J. Mykell Collinz – Jul 06, 2010

    Myra, your comments and fav are very much appreciated. I had been wondering about the detailed descriptions and I'm encouraged to know it's "the right type of writing to bring out the hardness." Thanks.

    Brianne Fidgety – Jun 21, 2010

    Egon, Captain Ahab, and Sputnik enjoyed your poem, but it may have had something to do with the carrots that accompanied it. Whatever the case, they were wheeking with joy!

    Michelle Elvy – Jun 14, 2010

    Myra -- thanks once again for your insights in my story X. I so appreciate your comments, always.

    J. Mykell Collinz – Jun 14, 2010

    Michelle Elvy – Jun 13, 2010

    thanks so very much, Myra, for your comment and FAV on my flag day challenge story, X. "Riveting" is a very strong description -- needless to say, I am pleased. I really liked working all those x's in - I'm glad you find that the form works and that those ten X's are unobtrusive. THANK YOU, you are a dear!

    Veronica Purcell – Jun 12, 2010

    Good to meet another Aussie. Thanks for your comment on my story and for joining the Scifi & Fantasy Group. Appreciate the support.

    Jack Swenson – Jun 11, 2010

    Myra, Thanks for your endorsement of my latest post. The cat herding is going well. We lost one recently, but the rest of the herd is happy & healthy. Knock on wood.

    J. Mykell Collinz – Jun 11, 2010

    Thanks for the welcome!

    Susan Tepper – Jun 09, 2010

    Myra, thanks so much for your read and sweet comments on Solitary. Yes, Poesia was a great little mag, it had spirit and was rebellious. I, amongst other poets, miss it

    Doug Bond – Jun 09, 2010

    Myra, thank you for reading ...Yonder" and for your comments/insights

    Erica Hoskins Mullenix – Jun 09, 2010

    Myra, thanks for your thoughtful reading of "we're all in there somewhere". I'm excited about reading a few of your stories. What an extensive list!

    Jack Swenson – Jun 09, 2010

    Myra, Thanks so much for your response to my story "Perversion." You are right: no sex maniacs there. Just needy people.

    George LaCas – Jun 09, 2010

    Hi Myra, thanks so much for your comments and fav of "Chelsea Hotel - Scene 2" - much appreciated! (don't forget there's a Scene 1)

    My pleasure! Good luck with it.

    Thanks, Myra, for commenting on "Searching for the Word." Glad you liked it!

    J.B. Lacombe – Jun 08, 2010

    Myra, thank you so much for reading "Map to the Heart" and for commenting (and for the fav --- it was starting to feel lonely with 0 favs!). I struggle with determining if I am providing too much info or too little in my writing, so I was glad to have your feedback.

    Molly Keegan Kuhn – Jun 07, 2010

    Myra, that is a beautiful name. I named a character after your name. I also like your horse. The horse looks curious. Thanks for the comments...And yes, I was right there with you. When my gradeschool teacher said "essay" I was the nerdy little girl with pig-tails who exclaimed, "Thank God!"

    Kait Mauro – Jun 06, 2010

    Hey Myra :) thanks so much for the nice comments on my poems. It was such a lovely way to start my day this morning!
    -- Kait.

    Walter Bjorkman – Jun 06, 2010

    Myra - thanks for reading my new flash - new format for me, but looking back, some of my segments within longer works are similar, and that's the fact, !

    Claire King – Jun 06, 2010

    Hi Myra, Glad you liked Peach (2)! Thanks for coming by for a look, you're always so fast to read and comment. Much appreciated!

    Nice to meet you...

    Roberta

    A. Pseudonym – Jun 04, 2010

    Thanks for your comments on 'You' and 'Path,' Myra. I've been writing non-fiction lately, getting in touch with my academic side - hence my absence from fictionaut. Thanks for asking!

    Julie Britt – Jun 03, 2010

    Myra, Thank you so much for your comments about "Jesus Wept." I appreciate the fav.

    Jack Swenson – Jun 03, 2010

    Myra, I will invoke the Robert Frost principle, then, which is that the writer is entitled to anything that the reader finds in the work. Maybe I'm smarter than I thought!

    Jack Swenson – Jun 03, 2010

    Myra, I think all I meant by "Mort kept on singing" was that he liked to be the center of attention, so he fended the other fellow off and sang! Now, don't you dare take away my fav! I'll go back there and sit there all night hanging onto it!

    Kari Nguyen – Jun 03, 2010

    Thank you for reading my story, Myra. I appreciate it very much! I was just looking at your About Me section, and the work you are doing with and for the Light Horse Troop is really commendable. Looking forward to reading more of your work!

    Matthew A. Hamilton – Jun 03, 2010

    J. Mykell Collinz – Jun 01, 2010

    Myra, thanks for reading a longer story, Dream, for your helpful comments, and for your fav. And thank Jazz for winking.

    George LaCas – May 31, 2010

    Thanks, Myra, for your comments about "Shut Not," which are greatly appreciated.

    James Lloyd Davis – May 31, 2010

    Thank you Myra, for your comment on "Halo 'round the moon." It's wonderfully strange to consider that ... while sleeping, someone on the other side of the planet is awake and reading what you've written.

    Matthew A. Hamilton – May 31, 2010

    Thank you for reading and commenting on Young Journey. Always appreciated.

    Bill Yarrow – May 30, 2010

    "isn't mercury the stuff of mad Hatters?"--I guess time will tell, Myra! Thanks for reading and commenting on "Acute Amusement."

    Michelle Elvy – May 30, 2010

    Myra -- thanks for your appreciation of the ping-pong-ing in Rock On. I'm glad you liked it and gave it that big Fave! (Every now and then I climb out from under my rock and though I don't read the NYT or WSJ or LAT, I come to Fictionaut and see the light -- even if it's eff-ing bright out here). :)

    Larry Strattner – May 29, 2010

    Thanks for the note on Addict, mate. (Am I supposed to call you mate?)

    Andrew O. Dugas – May 29, 2010

    Myra,

    Thanks for you encouraging praise of "Collection Day." It keeps me going!

    Best

    AD

    Rick Rofihe – May 29, 2010

    Thanks for the praise for "Yellow Dining Room", Myra -- but, alas, as I lack long-haul stamina in fiction-writing, no novel to follow.

    Rick Rofihe – May 29, 2010

    Thanks for your kind words for "Read Chinese" -- and I appreciate your liking those specific things in it.
    Best
    RR

    Cherise Wolas – May 28, 2010

    Myra,
    Thank you so much for the fav and your wonderfully supportive comments on An Italian Lunch. One of the beauties of fictionaut is receiving the comments, and having a chance to take ourselves and the work out of isolation, to see if it speaks to others. I so appreciate your reading!

    Johnsienoel – May 28, 2010

    hehe! Thanks, Myra! There actually was an entire second part to the Judas Horse that the editor suggest we cut. I can be verbose. Thanks for the fave.

    JM Prescott – May 28, 2010

    Thanks for the comment form Tomorrow Land. Cheers

    sara t. – May 28, 2010

    P.S. The last line comes from "The Tempest."

    Jerry Ratch – May 27, 2010

    Thank you, Myra!

    Gary Justis – May 27, 2010

    Myra, Thank you so much for making contact and comenting on "Three as She Lay Sleeping"
    I admire the fact that you donate to The RSL Creswick Light Horse Troop.

    Ramon Collins – May 26, 2010

    Thank you for reading and commenting on TWO FOR THE ROAD; I appreciate it. I've never posted like this, but apparently, it's the way it's done on Fictionaught. I usually just recip -- this seems like Advertisements For Myself.

    Brendan McKennedy – May 26, 2010

    Thanks for the comment and the fave!

    Susan Tepper – May 26, 2010

    Myra, thank you for commenting on The Fall of Love. What you wrote about colors is so true, and hadn't occured to me until you said it!

    Martha Williams – May 26, 2010

    Thank you so much for your kind words on Hummingbird - much appreciated. I just read Purple Patch and I howled - it's brilliant. M

    Walter Bjorkman – May 26, 2010

    Oh, you mean the unusually large, vicious, carnivorous koalas that inhabit treetops and attack their prey by dropping onto their heads from above. The ones I have just looked up on wiki? I wasn't familiar with them what with these alligators in the sewers and occasional Snipe sighting

    Matthew A. Hamilton – May 26, 2010

    Thank you for faving Basenji. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm in the Philippines, so I think we are on the same time.

    Michelle Elvy – May 25, 2010

    Myra, thanks for the comment and the fave on Elephant!

    Doug Bond – May 25, 2010

    Myra, thanks for seeing what I'd hoped would be seen in Folded Flower. And not surprising the dutch have a word for what i was feeling in Naive Melody, practitioners of pragmatic abandon that they are!

    Stephen Carter – May 25, 2010

    Myra, thanks for reading the naked man and barcelona and for faving it and for the lovely comment. It made me want to visit Australia.

    Johnsienoel – May 25, 2010

    Myra! *BIG HUGS* Yes! Yes! YES! You are the first to comment on that vibe in Kamakaze Birdsongs & you are accurate!!!! It was actually a metaphor on the poor souls that jumped on 9/11.

    Kait Mauro – May 25, 2010

    Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my story, Myra. :) I appreciate it. Hope you are well.

    Jeffrey Miller – May 23, 2010

    Hi Myra!

    Thanks for the welcome and for the kind comments on my story. Appreciate them a lot.

    Johnsienoel – May 22, 2010

    Myra - thank you for reading my wacky Alpaca story. I am thrilled you saw the double entendre within the piece. The voice is in the southern US vernacular of the lower educated class we affectionatly dub - Redneck!

    J. Mykell Collinz – May 22, 2010

    Myra, thanks for reading Teacher and for your helpful suggestions and comments. I do appreciate it.

    Jerry Ratch – May 22, 2010

    Claire King – May 22, 2010

    Hi Myra,
    I was that girl in class too. I loved writing essays!

    Stephanie Bobo – May 21, 2010

    Many thanks, Myra, for reading the rest of "Bread, Fish, Serpent, Stone," for the fave, and for your lovely (as always) comments!

    Kait Mauro – May 20, 2010

    Thank you so very much! :) I look forward to reading more of your work in the future!

    Matt Dennison – May 20, 2010

    Glad your maternal instincts were stirred by "Failure," because I realized, long after the writing of it, that the spider is...

    *sniff!*

    me!

    Linda Simoni-Wastila – May 20, 2010

    Myra, thanks so much for your kind words on Survivor - so appreciated. And love your latest About Poetry. Sigh. peace...

    Walter Bjorkman – May 20, 2010

    Myra - all antics forgiven, applauded and lauded, praised and alofted to the highest! Brilliant stroke, exactly in the spirit of 0favs! And thanks for reading Walking to School (and the dreaded fav)

    Michelle Elvy – May 20, 2010

    Myra, thanks so much for your comment on From The Doctor, with Love!

    Bill Yarrow – May 20, 2010

    Michael J. Solender – May 20, 2010

    Thanx so much for your nice comments on my Moondance. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Matthew A. Hamilton – May 20, 2010

    Thank you for reading Tsalagi. Glad you liked it.

    Michelle Elvy – May 19, 2010

    Myra, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and STAR on A Knobby Thing! My turn to go read some more King now... :)

    JM Prescott – May 19, 2010

    Thanks for commenting on my poems and for the fav. "Poignant mind pictures" well said. You can call me Jo.

    Matt Dennison – May 18, 2010

    "First reaction was what the...?"

    You and 25 others! I have no idea where it came from, but I was at my desk when it did.

    Jenn Alandy – May 18, 2010

    Thank you for the lovely comment Myra! I hope to be posting some newer work on Fictionaut soon.

    J. Mykell Collinz – May 18, 2010

    Myra, thanks for reading and faving Doreen - III. Your comments and suggestions are alsways very helpful and greatly appreciated.

    Matthew A. Hamilton – May 18, 2010

    Thank you for the fav for The Other Day. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Michael J. Solender – May 18, 2010

    Thanx Myra, yes I'm very practical!

    Dean West – May 17, 2010

    Your encouragement has meant everything to me. As you know, I’m this concoction of self-doubt sandwiched between bluff and bravado. That inner critic will always be there but it’s great when someone enjoys my efforts.

    Thanks for all your patience.

    Dean

    Bill Yarrow – May 17, 2010

    Myra, your comments are very flattering and much appreciated! I'm so glad you like "Mt. Harmonica."

    Matthew A. Hamilton – May 16, 2010

    Thank you for faving My Girl Friend's Birthday. I think an iron is a nice gift. However, my girlfriend would probably kill me if I bought one for her birthday.

    Bill Yarrow – May 16, 2010

    I'm really pleased you liked the poem "Ferdinand Gets Married," Myra. There's a joke underlying this poem. Forgive me for explaining it! Perhaps it'll deepen (well, maybe not) your enjoyment of it.

    The Ferdinand in the title is the Ferdinand from Shakespeare's The Tempest. In the play, he is betrothed to marry Miranda.

    This poem is in the form of an officer reading a suspect his or her Miranda Rights.

    Thus, in the poem Ferdinand is (wait for it) Mirandized!

    Forgive me if the joke was obvious. I fear it is too complicated and obscure.

    Thank you so much, Myra, for reading "Classmates" and your comments!

    Walter Bjorkman – Apr 24, 2010

    Myra, in response to your explanation, perhaps a word or two in that sequence could be changed/added for us readers that may not be familiar with that practice? My first thought was war, or an errant fireworks display - though I suppose it doesn't really matter, the direness comes through.

    Gary Percesepe – Apr 23, 2010

    hi myra!

    glad my profile brought a chuckle, and thanks for posting on my wall and--wow!--like, reading all that stuff!

    gary

    Walter Bjorkman – Apr 22, 2010

    Myra, thanks for reading 'Driven Crazy' (having problems getting email alerts on comments, yours didn't arrive yet, 24 hrs later!) It was the main of the two, I threw the roach one in, why I don't know. Actually, the woman was obviously in her own world, not just a non-listener, and I enjoyed hearing her stream, though by the time I got off I had enough.

    Meg Pokrass – Apr 21, 2010

    Myra - thank you for your deep reading of "Picnic" - and thank you for faving it!

    Beverly Akerman – Apr 14, 2010

    Hi Myra

    Thanks for reading and commenting on "Pie." The power of that voice has led me to take play writing workshops. I know they'll help with dialogue and story development. And I realized a big secret: there's a reason they call it "play"!

    Cheers,

    Martha Williams – Apr 12, 2010

    Walter Bjorkman – Apr 11, 2010

    Thanks, Myra for comment on Poetipedia - I had a jolly good time doing it (idea came to me as I drifted to sleep after referencing Keats on Wiki) - if there is sadness underneath, perhaps?,then you have a better eye than I do.
