I’m an Australian author in love with living in suburbia. What could be nicer than chatting to your neighbour over the back fence? So if you’re not sure what you’ve stumbled into, pour yourself a cuppa, grab a couple of TimTams and join me in simply enjoying life.

If the “About Me” page is the place for true confessions: I read voraciously, refrain from commenting on politics (mostly) and my only serious flaw is mixing good whisky with tap water.

History is a lifelong interest, and now that I’ve discovered Steampunk, watch out world! It is the best way to mis-use a history degree.

The photo at the top of the page is Bathers Beach, Fremantle, Australia.
