About Me:
I'm a novelist now, but that's only because I've worked as a barman, actor, streetseller, labourer, exterminator, factory worker, gardener, clerk, travel agent, teacher and drug trial guinea pig, amongst other things. I've published short fiction in Australia (anthologised in Pascoe Publishing's Best Fifty Stories Collection) and had a longer piece short-listed for the Vogel/Australian Literary Award. My first novel 'The Summons' was published in 2006 (Vintage - Random House.) My new crime novel 'Line of Sight' was published by Penguin Australia in September 2010.

    Never say no to a free review copy, Dave. Send it to me care of Text Publishing is the best bet. And yes, Peter was my native informant for a piece on Bass I did for Crikey during the election. Strange place Tasmania - hence the Flanagans.
    Shane - currently at Ubud Writers Festival and theoretically incommunicado.

    Hi David,

     

    I'm one of the editors for Noir Nation, and I would love to get some more stories from Australia for Issue 2  (Issue 1 will be available Sept 1, 2011).  Looking for short stories and graphic stories (comics).  Maybe you have some, and could also help spread the word?  We start reading for issue 2 on Oct 1.

     

    Thank you,

    Alan
