Town & Country//Coast & Realm

Mixing magical realism and fairy tale surrealism on a contemporary Australian canvas

A mythos formed in my mind after migrating to Australia – the wonder, joy and gratitude I felt, reflected into the incredible world around me.

I collected these stories under an umbrella IP: Town & Country//Coast & Realm.

Modern Australian life with a hefty dose of strange and wonderful magic – complemented by numerous Fae shires collectively known as the Hither.

Stories in this unique world – such as The Mountain In His Pocket, Pirate Nouveau and The Vines That Stayed – have placed in, or won, literary contests.

I'm currently working on more short stories, novels and scripts in this setting.

Connect with me on LinkedIn if you want to know more, read a collection of shorts or chat about publishing.

A photo-quality image created with Midjourney, depicting a man walking. The man's shadow is a great white shark's instead of a human's.

"The most striking thing about him, though, is his shadow—larger than any young man’s ought to be, it stretches far behind him and is shaped exactly like a great white shark."
