The author
I live in Loftus, a southern suburb of Sydney by the Royal National Park. In 2011, I received a Masters of Creative Writing from the University of Wollongong and I seek to celebrate, through different forms, the Australian life experience. I have an abiding interest in taiji health exercise and related philosophy of natural living, as well as travel, the contemporary novel, jade collecting and general lapidary, plus I follow both the GWS Giants and the Sydney Swans in the AFL.
