writer, comedian, musician based in Walyalup, WA. The Yeah Nah Review on substack co-host of The Battler debut novel NOCK LOOSE out NOW!!!
CRAIGIE (a reckoning) “everybody needs a bit of Craigie in them.” coming February 2027 via Wharf Rat Press Kickstarter launches next week.
do you have a book manuscript that needs help/work/direction? Then hmu. I've got close to 20 years as an experienced writer/editor and know the ins and outs of OzLit more than I would probably like to.
the endorsements for the Colin Barnett book on WA are diabolical lmao
NOCK LOOSE has been shortlisted for the Western Australian Premier's Book Awards reminder: i'm still looking for an agent / home for my 4 other (kinda better!) books
I’ve written an in-depth guide the things that inspired and influenced NOCK LOOSE for the books 1st birthday. Check it out over in YNR!
read this piece in the monthly yesterday and it is lowkey insane??
special battler ep this week while Tim is out sick with hentai virus. Get it in ya!
I think I managed to sneak @themountaingoats.bsky.social a copy of NOCK LOOSE tonight
maybe my fav episode of The Battler yet: we talk to my literary idol @micwink.bsky.social about writing, life, and his new (brilliant) novel, Griefdogg. Get it in ya!
NOCK LOOSE residuals arrived today. First purchase was @micwink.bsky.social new book, which I have been craving for years now
read, man! NOCK LOOSE: Extended Edition is available in good bookstores everywhere now!!
a nice review of my other/better novel Truly damning that no one has published it/snapped it up. It’s too good. OzLit isn’t ready for child martial arts prodigies, it seems.
