About Me

 

I was born in Canberra in 1974 and currently reside in Bendigo, Victoria with my wife Jennie and son, Matthew. I reluctantly work full-time in the telecommunications industry. During my spare time, I can be found exorcising my demons onto the page.

I have been writing seriously for three years. During that time, I have won an award for Best Graphic Literary Imagery with 'The Tram' in the Ballarat Writers Body In Bourke Street Competition, 2005.

I received an honourable mention for 'A Visit From Santa' in the Ballarat Writers Christmas Competition, 2005.

In July 2006 I made my debut in FlashSpec Volume 1, showcased along with many fine authors and also had two micro fiction pieces, 'Silent Treatment' and 'Decapitated' accepted for publication in Flash Shot in Canada.

More recently, my work has appeared in Demonminds, Micro Horror, FlashSpec Volume 2 and the forthcoming Antipodean #120, Black Box & Short & Twisted 2008.

Currently, I am working on both new material and ressurrecting earlier work to beat them into shape for publication.

My ultimate goal is to win a Bram Stoker Award.
