I'm a freelance writer, primarily pop-media and fiction.
I like loud music and comic books and vampires and tattoos and other things which grownups
are supposed to be too clever for, such as obnoxiously
lurid hair dyes and staying up past bedtime, which is a bit of a worry because I'm 27 years old.
I live in Melbourne, Australia, where I have a day job as a writer, assistant editor and researcher on the journal Australian Philanthropy.
In my spare time I paint (badly), play the bass guitar (very badly) and read a lot of books (it's difficult to be bad at this, luckily).
