Writer, author and journalist

I write for magazines, newspapers, radio, television and theatre.
I'm also a prize-winning screenwriter (so there).

EXCITING NEWS! I've actually updated my BLOG:
WISHFUL THINKING - news about the writing (and home) life

I have also started a blog with Mental Floss online, writing regular lists - for the Lists blog section, naturally. First up: 10 TV Shows that Changed the World.

MORE EXCITING NEWS! My musings can be read every week in my column in Monday's edition of The Canberra Times (but only in the paper version). Now I've started to put them on this site. As I've been doing this column for a year, it's about time I put them online. (More will appear over the next few months.)

1975: AUSTRALIA'S GREATEST YEAR, published by John Wiley & Sons, is still at bookstores, or from seekBOOKS, The Buy Australian Book Store, and other online booksellers.

I'm currently working on a new book for Random House, to be published in late 2008. Stay tuned for more details...

You can still see me on some editions of the Web video-zine Inspiration News (also available as a podcast). The latest was a look into the world of comic books (from season II episode VI).

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A MOVIE REVIEWER?
Become a Movie Reviewer, my e-book guide, published by Fabjob.com, is still available. (It's written for U.S. writers, but it's been popular with writers and film buffs everywhere else).

Question: As a writer, where do I get my inspiration?
Answer: Well, everywhere... but have a look at what inspires me the most...
