About The Author
I live in Melbourne, Australia, i'm male (well, yeah), born in 1963 one week after the tv show "Dr. Who" was aired and a few days before JFK was shot (which, I think, counts me out of that particular conspiracy), bi-tending-slightly-towards-hetero and currently studying Literature at Deakin University, very slowly. I've made brief appearances in talk.bizarre, alt.gothic and alt.tasteless (as Bananafishbone); my Penix operating system man pages rated a mention in alt.humor.best-of-usenet (thanks for promoting them, goss !)
The story 'New Toy' was published in Cecilia Tan's Circlet Press collection Technosex. In an incredible burst of arrogance I forced the editorial team of Inkshed #9 (of whom i was one) to include two of my stories (i also railroaded them into letting me do the cover art ). Apart from this, I haven't been paper-published to any significant degree. Oh, except for that story printed in the gay/lesbian sf/fantasy anthology One In Ten Forward .
Founder of the AnarchArtists , an Esoterrorist/Absurdist/Elitist bunch of people-who-make-stuff; Trolltech is a division of the AnarchArtists devoted to making things like S&M/Bondage clothing and props, maliciously altered Barbie Dolls (such as the infamous 'Borg Barbie'), sculptures and the kinds of cute arty things that people don't know what to do with.
I am a goth. Deal with it.
Previously a member in good standing of the fidonet LTUAE cabal and the one-time compiler of This Week In Life The Universe And Everything, I make sporadica appearances on the Australian undernet channel #LTUAE_OZ on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
