about: I've always written stories. I started out as a kid creating monster stories with a $5 typewriter from the early 1900's.

I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, about as far away from anywhere as it is possible to be. Earthquakes devastated the city in 2010 and 2011. They appear in my books. I've got a degree that I've never used and two diplomas, one in Hypnotherapy and the other in a subject I don't mention to anyone, as it was so long ago. I read widely: particularly SpecFic, YA, contemporary and non-fiction. My favourite author is Connie Willis, but I mostly read indie authors nowadays. I also enjoy copy-editin I've always written stories. I started out as a kid creating monster stories with a $5 typewriter from the early 1900's.
