I'm a fiction writer and journalist based in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria. I write about modernism, the occult, islands, the dream-logic of late stage capitalism and tech, and the strange threads that connect them.
I grew up on Flinders Island – a remote island in Bass Strait, off the coast of Tasmania – and I go home as often as I can. I now live and work on the beautiful lands of the Dja Dja Warrung with my family and our dog, Henry.
I worked in bookshops for twelve years, including the Greville Street Bookstore during the design book heyday of the early 2000s. Everything I know about taste, I learnt there. I also have an Honours degree in Anthropology, something that turned out to be ideal training ground for a writer — it taught me to look carefully at how people actually live and the structures that surround and shape us.
I write short fiction, criticism, and essays. My journalism follows technology, authenticity, and internet culture. My Substack, The Lost Island, is a cabinet of curiosities for the historically minded and the presently unsettled — finding the threads that connect the early twentieth century's dream-worlds to our own.
