I have been writing for as long as I can remember, but I only got serious about it a couple of years ago. I made my first professional sale in 1999. Since then I have had short stories published in Antipodean SF, Goblin Muse, Jackhammer, Potato Monkey, Andromeda Spaceways, Charge! and the anthologies "Nor of Human...", "AustrAlien Absurdities", "Machinations", and "Elsewhere". Hobbies include reading, wargaming, sailing, cycling, Ju-jitsu, Karate, driving my children absolutely everywhere, and wondering where all my spare time went. In real life: I run a Computer Consultancy, I have a wife and 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 7 budgies, and assorted goldfish. I live in sunny Canberra, and I am approximately 41 years old.
