I have a Bachelor of Arts (Honours), majoring in History, from the University of Melbourne and a Master of Arts in Australian Studies from Monash University. My M.A. thesis was titled Victorian Cinema Landscapes. In June of 2000, I completed an RMIT short course, Screenwriting - Introduction, taught by Dr Lisa Dethridge.

I write both fiction and non-fiction, long and short, as well as doing some editing. I am available for speaking engagements at schools, conferences, etc. See the Speaking section for more information.

I've had 42 books published so far. Several of my books can be purchased online through the Show and Tell Promotions Online Bookshop.

Two of my books Life, Death and Detention and Real Sci-Fi are on the booklist for the 2010 Victorian Premier's Reading Challenge. This is their sixth year on the list.

My latest placements are:

• A book review of f2m: the boy within by Hazel Edwards and Ryan Kennedy for Pass It On.
• A short story, "Feather-light", for the Belong anthology to be published by Ticonderoga.
• A short story, "Trees", for the Short and Scary anthology to be published by Black Dog Books.
• A book review of The Slightly Skewed Life of Toby Chrysler by Paul Collins for the MC Reviews website.
• A fiction school reader, The Greatest Escape, for Macmillan Education.
