My brief story of the trials and tribulations of making my first short film, published in Sunday Magazine, can now be downloaded over here.

I also have a weekly column in The Canberra Times (paper version only, I'm afraid) and a blog on Mental Floss online, writing lists - including 7 Great Misconceptions About Australia and 8 Miraculous Super-Hero Resurrections.

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).
