I am the author of interactive digital novel/app The Ark, US bestseller Whisky Charlie Foxtrot, and A New Map of the Universe, which was shortlisted for the WA Premier’s Book Awards. My short fiction and essays have been published in Southerly, Westerly, Kill Your Darlings and the Review of Australian Fiction. I have also had countless rejections, and, like most writers, struggle with self-doubt and procrastination.
I have a PhD in Creative Writing, and have delivered more than 50 workshops at writers centres, regional and metropolitan libraries, and festivals. I love working with aspiring writers! As panellist and chair I have appeared at numerous national and international writers festivals (hobnobbing with the stars!) I am a mentor, and short story competition judge, and a former member of the editorial board at Margaret River Press.
