Introduction I have worked in several fields, including teaching undergraduates at Southern Cross U (Creative Writing and Literary Texts; Culture, Sexuality & Gender) and doing some editing work. Previously I worked in television production, in Sydney, Melbourne and Los Angeles and, before that, I taught meditation - on behalf of my esteemed guru - in East Asia and Pacific Rim countries. In an earlier life I agitated for the cause of Australian writing for the stage. I gained my PhD from the University of Queensland in 2007 with a study of subjectivity and spirituality in life narratives by gay men. I have recently published my third book - a spiritual memoir disguised as a gay coming-of-age story, titled "The Boy in the Yellow Dress". Meanwhile my book "Mr. Isherwood Changes Trains: Christopher Isherwood and the search for the home self" came out, April 2010, and a collection of essays I edited and compiled "Speak Now: Australian perspectives on same-sex marriage" was published October 2011.
