I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. Nothing too exciting happened to me as a kid, except for when the kebab shop around the corner blew up. 'Kebab Kaboom!' the papers called it.
In my twenties I got a degree in engineering, then worked on and off, alternating between extended backpacking trips and plugging away at Excel spreadsheets. When I finally settled back into life in Sydney, I started writing.
All my life, I've loved getting lost in other worlds. I'd consume all manner of fantasy and science-fiction stories, whether it be books, TV shows, or films. Now, writing novels full of make-believe creatures and mythical gods, I get to create worlds for other people to lose themselves in. It's a bloody amazing feeling.
When I'm not writing, you'll likely find me reading or going for a swim in the ocean. I played in a punk band too. Google 'Madam Wong,' if you're curious. But my true passion is writing.
I write because I love it. I get joy from other people enjoying my books, and plan to keep putting words on the page until I'm in the dirt. You readers are the most important thing in the world to me. Without you, I'm just some idiot shouting random nonsense into the void. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
