Returning Lurker – Author, Mentalist, Phantom Fan

G’day, all—

I’ve been a member for a while but only now crawling out of the lurker shadows properly. I’m an Aussie author based in Brisbane, writing thrillers with a sci-fi and supernatural bent—plenty of adventure, time travel, and the odd philosophical punch.

When I’m not wrangling words, I moonlight as a mentalist, performing at events and parties (and yes, it’s exactly as strange and fun as it sounds). I'm also a proud dad to a spirited little girl who somehow has more energy than the sun.

On the reading side, I enjoy Dean Koontz, Andy McDermott, Matthew Reilly, and the old-school James Bond novels. I've also rediscovered David Wood and have been reading Jason Mariani's books. Still love Phantom comics too—nostalgia hits hard.

Looking forward to chatting more around the forums. Big thanks to everyone who's ever posted Calibre tips—some of those threads have saved my sanity more than once.
