About me

I am a mathematician and writer, currently revising my first novel. I live in Perth, Western Australia, on Noongar Boodja with a dog, a cat and a few bantams. This blog shares my adventures in writing since attending a short story course in March 2022.

Haiku

It’s a little while since this was published but I remain delighted to be included with so many delightful and thought-provoking haiku in the Fourth Australian Haiku Anthology. It’s been sitting on my bedside table for some time and I’ve never regretted picking it up and opening a page at random.
