I am a writer of crime and literary fiction from Melbourne, Australia. I have published five short story collections, two novellas, and four novels as well as over fifty individual short stories in journals both literary and crime. I also recently signed a three-book deal with American publisher Level Best Books for a series of crime thrillers set in SE Asia featuring Bangkok-based Australian PI Lee Jenson. Outside of writing I like to travel, walk everywhere, take photographs like crazy, watch a lot of films, and firmly believe that test cricket is the greatest game of all. I write fast-paced, action-filled crime novels featuring relentless protagonists who never give up. I also write crime and literary short stories filled with small slices of life that will make you laugh and cry and possibly even break your heart.
