Born in Geraldton, I moved to Perth when I was 17 to go to University, and, barring a year overseas in my early 20s, I've never left. I've been a teacher of English and Literature for more than 25 years, and have been writing poetry, fiction and non-fiction for even longer than that. I'm married to Brooke, have three children, an excitable dog and a very grumpy-looking cat. It's taken me a while to publish some writing, but I hope to publish a lot more in the coming years.
