An Aussie in the USA
This post was originally published at fellow author, Anna Butler's blog. She had me over as a guest. It talks about how our trips to the USA initially influenced the first of the Nate and Cameron Series, Nate and the New Yorker. I’ve been blessed by the god of travel, and during those journeys I have …
Rejected by a Reviewer
I had a unique experience recently. There's one reviewer who I like to read, especially when he's writing about one of my books. It's one of the rare vanity moments we have as authors. What I like about this reviewer is that within his critique, he offers advice to the writer. In the past he hasn't …
The Secret Life of Cutlery
Let's get surreal for a minute. Cutlery. We all know it. We all use it. But did you know your cutlery casts a spell? No? Think about the people you've had over for a meal. Think of when your friends opted for take-away Thai and you simply had to try the yellow curry. The morning your friend got …

The 78’ers Apology
In 1986 I came to Sydney. A month or so later I was in a taxi one night on my way to god knows where, and during this trip my driver passed a street that looked like paradise. It was filled with young gay men my age. Oxford Street was alive with guys going from bar …
I met a guy
I had this unnerving urge to stay private. Private about my homosexuality. You see, most mornings I go swimming at a local pool, and over the last few weeks, a guy who has often seen me in the change room after my refreshing dip, struck up a conversation with me. He teaches English to migrants, and …
