First, you might like to read the formal (and mercifully brief) biography for all the facts, figures and places. You can also my publisher's page for me at HarperCollinsPublishers Australia. I live in a Victorian Gentleman's residence in Cornelian Bay, Tasmania. You can visit the house and garden at the Nonsuch Garden website (this site is still growing ... just as is the garden ...). If you would like to contact me, please read my contact page. As I am unable to read manuscripts, if you need someone to read your work please contact Sarah Endacott of Edit or Die, or one of the many other editorial services available. All requests for appearances and interviews in Australia via the publicity office at HarperCollins Australia (phone on (02) 9952 5000). The image to the right is from a painting called "The Three Muses" by Jacqui Grantford, image ©Jacqui Grantford 2004. The garden in the background is that of Ashcotte in Bendigo, my former home.
