I moved to Melbourne from NZ twelve years ago to avoid turning 30- but as the fates would have it- I still turned 30. My passion is for comedy and in finding humour in the midst of tragic pain and personal truths . I also have a real interest the use of humour for healing emotional wounds and strenghtening our survival against the arrows of misfortune.

I hope you enjoy my collection of poems and short stories. I am a junkie for praise and an addict for feedback.

Icould smell him, cheap sweat, common cologne and the alluring odour of stale larger. I sucked it all in.
” Do you have a wooden leg”, he asked.I Paused to contemplate how homicide could ruin a romantic evening.
