“I am a fan of Weird Literature, the odd and fantastic writing style that existed from the mid-Victorian era until about the 1940s when it was streamlined into Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror. Nowadays, I generally write Horror, usually teamed up with a hefty dose of Historical Fiction. I especially like the Occult Detective format of writing.

Some time ago, I discovered that a distant uncle of mine was murdered in Sydney over a bottle of beer, a case unsolved to this day. This piqued my interest in the true crime aspects of Australia’s history, especially Sydney during the 1920s and 30s, the so-called “razor gang” days. My Shadows of Razorhurst stories all come from there.”
