I write fiction, pop-culture analysis, comics and music journalism, and whatever else comes out of my head. I also read like it's going out of style, make jewellery, go to as many rock shows as I can, watch a lot of horror movies, say tasteless things in public situations, and find every excuse I can to travel.
I'm usually to be found in Melbourne, Australia, where I work as Editor of the journal Australian Philanthropy.
Books & Zines
The Wolf House
Punk is dead and it has fangs. The Wolf House is a series of five novels for teen and adult readers. They were described by Melbourne's Age newspaper as "rock'n'roll, sex, tattoos, feminism, bisexuality and a sense of what teens really are about", which isn't a bad overview but fails to mention the kitten named Bikini Kill or that the books are full of elegant and ridiculous vampires. Still, you can't fit everything in a pull-quote, I suppose.
