47 years on the planet, from a military family which meant I travelled around a lot when I was young- and then just never stopped. Linguist, language teacher, history buff. Veteran. Currently living in the Republic of Georgia but previously in Russia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, the UK and my native Australia.

Publisher of 5 novels-more to come- and one book of poetry.

I am an avid stock trader and former Real Estate agent.
