I am a speculative fiction author; so called because sometimes I write horror, sometimes science fiction, sometimes fantasy and sometimes I write a mix of everything. I started writing fiction when I was in primary school, where we were encouraged to write stories in class that would be typed up by generous mothers so that we could illustrate them and turn them into “books” -I was hooked!

My first publication after primary school was in 1996, "The Snake" in Squish, a magazine for the rave scene in South Australia. It was a serial piece set in and around Adelaide with clues given each week as to the nature and identity of the killer.

It was a long wait after that for my next publication, which came in 2001 in the form Antipodean SF –a wonderful online magazine that publishes flash fiction with an Australian focus. Spurred on by this success I turned my focus to short stories, but had to wait several years before my next publication.

In November of 2004 I joined SuperNOVA a spec fiction writer’s group, peopled with many brilliant writers both published and unknown. My knowledge of writing and publishing was increased ten-fold thanks to the fantastic advice I have and continue to receive there.

Now I am turning my attention back to my novels, but every now and then I am overcome with a short story idea which demands to be written. So I have a few unpublished shorts which will hopefully find a home soon.
