About

When not working, writing or chicken-wrangling, I get out to the pool / beach and make good use of my (electric-assist!) pushbike for a ride around the ‘burbs or down to the river. Failing that, I have an entire garden to conquer and an endless array of craft projects lined up.

I’m lucky enough to live in Perth (Western Australia), where my partner and I share our home with two remarkably fugly naked-neck chickens (sorry ladies!). They provide us with fresh eggs and have become the background noise to our lives. They’re very vocal!

My garden shed is crammed with gardening gear/chicken food/straw/potting soil. There’s also a craft room indoors, equipped with worktables/paints/mosaic essentials and so forth. Everything gets used, although not all at once.

I write for fun, for the sake of the stories, rather than to meet deadlines. Somewhat to my surprise, this has turned out to be quite addictive and – sometimes – even profitable. Teacup in the Sky is where I stash some of my occasional ramblings.
