About this author

I write short science-fiction novels, usually with a post-apocalyptic flavor and a twist of fantasy. I'm lucky enough to have a day job working as a technical writer for an IT company. In 2004 I won the Antipodean Sci-Fi award for a story called Skin Deep.

I live in Brisbane, Australia, with my wife and three rowdy kids who keep me on my toes and keep life interesting. My current obsessions are running, writing, and being a good dad.

I recently published A God-Blasted Land and d.evolution.


I’ve updated the books page to include a coming soon image for the third Bastard Cadre story and I’m so pleased with the way the books line up that I thought I’d share it here too:

I’m still a way off from publishing the third book. The second draft is almost done (only two chapters left to beat into shape) and then I’ll be editing my way through the entire story. Which means I’m currently on...

Debbie Johansson Hi Lee. Thanks for the friendship - it's good to see you here. :)


Patricia Puddle Hi Lee, nice to meet you. Seems we have a lot in common. I live in Northern NSW and was born in England. I've published 4 children's books and now publishing my first Y/A. I love running, too. I had to give it up and now power walk due to mal-tracking knee problems. I do weights too, but I so miss running and the euphoric feeling it brings. Good job I can get my fix from writing though. LOL.
