Introduction I am graduate from the University of Tasmania. I spent many years working in the spatial information industry; two of which were spent mixing it with the Kurds in Northern Iraq, as a consultant for the United Nations. I lived for twelve months in Moscow, acquainting myself with Russian life, enduring freezing winter temperatures, writing restaurant reviews for an ex-pat website and enjoying the cafe culture of a blissful Moscow summer. I now write full-time and live in Sydney with my wife and two sons.
Interests my precious family, sailing, reading, travelling, good dining experiences, watching big band concerts, playing the piano, theatre, writing fiction and poetry
