Writer, author and journalist

Member of the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance, Australian Society of Travel Writers and Australian Writers' Guild.

OVERRATED: THE 50 MOST OVERHYPED THINGS IN HISTORY will be published in the U.S. in July by Penguin Books. It can be pre-ordered from Borders.

The Australian Random House edition (Busted! The 50 Most Overrated Thing in History), is still available from Abbey's Bookshop and other booksellers.

I also have a blog on Mental Floss online, writing regular lists - including 7 Great Misconceptions About Australia and 8 Miraculous Super-Hero Resurrections.

Meanwhile, my musings can be read every week in my column in Monday's edition of The Canberra Times (but only in the paper version). I've started to put some of the columns on my blog WISHFUL THINKING, though some of the earlier ones are on this very site.

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).

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