author, blogger, traveller, science writer and research funding specialist
I combine my love of stories, knowledge of our physical world and passion for many things creative into narrative.
When I’m not writing, I spend time with my partner Chris, our family and friends, landscaping our six hectares of garden in Gibbston, singer-songwriting on the guitar and cello, making furniture, tramping, mountain biking, skiing in winter, travelling… There are never enough hours in the day for all the things that I love to do.
In Madagascar, I asked why the bones of the dead were kept in concrete houses more substantial and larger than houses occupied by the living. I was told, “You are dead far longer than you are alive.” That sentiment parallels perfectly with my core tenet – I like to make the most of every minute because right now is all we ever have.
I’d love to hear from you
