About the Author

I am a nomad who's wandered the globe for many a year now. My passport says I'm Australian and I think of Newcastle and Melbourne, Australia, as equal homes. I recently relocated to Germany seeking the Berlin artist's scene. I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, exploring new places, and of course, reading and writing. I've been writing since the third grade and haven't stopped since. Personally, I read a lot of Poe, Lovecraft, Blackwood and Le Fanu. It doesn't take a scholar to see their influence throughout my work. I completed my Bachelor of Arts as an English Literature major, Philosophy minor, at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch New Zealand. I also started a Masters of Creative writing in Melbourne, but put it aside after gaining a diploma because, funnily enough, it was taking up too much of my writing time.
