About Me

I'm a writer from Melbourne, Australia, but I left my heart in San Francisco some years ago, and now I spend a lot of time either in Melbourne, in California, or at some point over the Pacific between the two.

I've had work published in BLIP Magazine, in Every Day Fiction, in The Loop, and more. I'm currently writing for The Nervous Breakdown, as well as working on a number of further projects.

Why do you write?

It fascinates me. More than any other medium, writing has the ability to create a complete portrait of a person, a situation, a happening, from all angles at once. As a reader and a writer, that's something that can be fulfilling to engage with.

Any favorite authors? Books?

Ernest Hemingway, Ed McBain, Neal Pollack, Jessica Anya Blau, Ronlyn Domingue, Greg Olear, Duke Haney, A. A. Jacobs, Tom Wolfe.
