In a life of travel, oceanic moods and laughter, I’ve put together a selection of short stories, poems and non-fiction.

Many of the poems and some of the short stories were published in Australia, the UK and USA. The non-fiction was published in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne.

I mainly write short stories now and I live on the east coast of Australia, where large swells beat on my door.

We’re cosmic fireflies burning bright for a moment and then gone. I want the short stories to capture a sense of now. They’re wildly different creatures, evidence of changing visions and experimentation.

I’m not a ‘literary’ writer. I place story above all else. I pay no dues to any political orthodoxy or salon. Fiction merges with non-fiction, essays and memoir.

I hope you enjoy them.
