It's been a while since I had any news, so I'm pleased to say I've been working with a film-maker on a script based on one of my short stories, which will hopefully go into production soon! Stay tuned!

I've been pretty quiet on the writing front the last couple of years, with a few publications but little else achieved.

I plan to change that this year. And I'd like your help.

Keep me accountable. Check in. Offer support. Help me achieve big things this year.

It's finally here! My latest story, Sahul Dreaming, appears in "The Time Machine Australia Bound" edited by Steve Proposch and Christopher Sequeira. A slight departure from my usual genre but not too far outside.
