While working as a lawyer in the South West of Western Australia, I discovered the dark and mysterious world of creative writing. Equipped with nothing but a lawyer's tendency to reduce things to a written form, a series of colourful travel experiences and an unruly imagination, I dived in.Alternating between strokes, often floundering and always out of my depth, I have produced some material and I now present some of it for your enjoyment.
