Biography

I am a writer, personal carer and traveller, among other things, originally from Melbourne, Australia. Since 1987 I have visited around seventy countries for the purposes of work and / or travel. As a writer I am principally a novelist though I also write shorter pieces, both fiction and non-fiction. I have published, and self-published, poetry, articles, stories and novels. My most recent novels were a trilogy dealing principally with the themes of healing and reconciliation. I also write screenplays and the have made a number of low-budget films.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I always enjoyed writing. But I first committed myself to writing stories as such - other than a few minor works done as school assignments that is - around the age of eighteen. That year, while attending tertiary college, I set myself the task of writing a novel.
What's the story behind your latest book?
As a writer, I am principally a novelist. However, my latest book - two books in fact - is what I would call a travel memoir and deals with my life both before and after I became a world traveller. I just thought that now would be a good time to pen such a work.

When you're born at the end of the line there's only one place to go. Such is the realisation and primary motivating force at the heart of The Second of Three. For those whom fate has decreed birth and upbringing in a kind of no man's land - whether a figurative or literal one or a combination of both - the urge to find a sense of 'place' and 'belonging' may be ever more strongly felt.
