About me:
Love to write, have to write...as much as I can around being a devoted father to a wonderful girl - and working in a time-demanding role with heaps of responsibility. I consider myself very lucky in life now, to have done so much and achieved many dreams - though I've had to work hard to get here...still do...I'm out there as full on as I can be.
My claim to fame: I am a published author! See 'Connections' - URL hi.com.au/connections Have also published articles, short stories, poetry - and now keen to be dusting off things, doing new work and collaborating here on WeBook, getting involved with other writers for fun and feedback.

Currently collaborating on a series of short novels for young people in a wiki space off WeBook. Please contact me with interest - almost 5 books done.

I also have an unpublished speculative fiction novel (sooo dated - needs rework ) and two other fantasy novels underwaaaaay (the a's symbolic that they are long, drawn out processes toward completion! ;-)

I'm keen to do humor, travel, environmental, supernatural and speculative fantasy in this space, mostly in poetry form as it's easier to manage around everything else. I'm here to have fun, to share - not big into playing numbers games or mass begging to get recognition or votes or favours - I'd rather focus on writing. Hope you like my work and working with me. This is the tip of my writing iceberg!
