Dogs as Anchors
Dogs appear often in Broad Shorts, and there’s a simple reason: they’re grounding. Loyal. Present. They see us clearly when we can’t.
Patchy—my own dog—appears in spirit in stories like Storm and What Was Lost. Those pieces grew from the everyday rituals of dog companionship:

The Magic of Small Objects
Keys. Teatowels. Old couches. Haircuts.
I love writing about tiny things with quiet gravity. Objects that carry memory, comfort, or a hint of the mysterious.
In Broad Shorts, everyday items become companions, catalysts, or witnesses. They hold stories even when

Some endings come softly. Some change everything. Some never really arrive.
These stories were written over four years—during early-morning writing sessions, quiet weekends, and life seasons that forced me to

I was thinking about how Australian authors can get compensated for use of their work in training LLMs without prior consent.
Australian authors are legally required to deposit their works to National Library of Australia (for free), so we do currently have a record of Australian published works.
