Smashwords Interview

Describe your desk
Desk? What desk?!
More often than not my desk is stacked with far too many books for me to work at, so my "desk" is my lap, or a portable coffee table, or outside in the sun on the back deck.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Canberra, Australia's capital city. Being completely surrounded by nature, and with national galleries and museums everywhere, there's inspiration available wherever you look.
