<p>I was born in Sydney, and was brought up in working class Botany. I worked at the Bondi Lifesaver (The Swap) and relaxed at The Midnight Shift and Capriccios, Oxford St. Darlinghurst. I tried my hand at many different types of work ... you name it, I had a go.</p>
<p>I mixed with crims and coppers, rock and roll legends and low life junkies ... also high life junkies. Hookers with hearts and queens with credit cards. In and out of marriage, fled at the suggestion of children and still managed to have a bloody good time. Travelled incessantly, drank far too much for a person in any position and rocked on. Same old, same old and all the while reading. And then I thought I had a book in me.</p>
<p>I now live a much more respectable life in a small, quiet, unsuspecting country town in NSW.</p>
