Welcome to my blog! I am an author of short stories and poetry and live with my family near the town of Myrtleford (Victoria).  I have worked as a market researcher, English teacher to non-native speakers, outdoor recreation instructor, kitchen hand, cleaner, warehouse labourer – and more besides.  I’ve lived in South Korea; love reading Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope, and when I’m not writing I enjoy silence and God’s creation.  

I also take commissions to write poetry on request, whether it be for birthdays, funerals, or for corporate settings.  If you are interested in asking me to do such work for you, feel free to message me via the form below.

I have named this blog Liquørice Fjørds because I love the beauty of Norwegian fjørds (please look them up online to see how magnificent they are) and I love eating liquorice, and the notion of there being a fjørd filled with liquorice has a certain appeal. 

I am currently in the process of writing a poetic adaptation of the book of Hosea.  Thus far, I have written:

• A Master of Theology thesis about the book of Lamentations and how writing poetry helps to process grief; you can download it here: MTh Thesis – Elegiac Poetry & Lamentations (PDF);
• A poetic adaptation of The Song of Solomon.
