Publisher info
I lived in Japan about for about 7 years in the 90s but moved back to Australia at the turn of the century. I earned a crust teaching basic Japanese in high school for a few years before moving to teaching ESL. I studied law part-time during this period and now work as a criminal lawyer in the outback of Australia spending my time in the courts on circuit as an advocate for indigenous Australians. Writing is a hobby and a way of coming to terms with my time in Japan and the transition back to life in Australia. Anyway, please enjoy my literary contributions and I hope to get something else up sometime in the future. Maybe my experiences in the Kimberley regions of Western Australia?

Teaching English in Japan and selling drugs to friends and clients is Josh's ticket to popularity and reward. Content with this lifestyle, a quick detour, a magazine and a cell phone skew this path in a direction neither he nor his friends could have anticipated.(Manga insert edition)
