Profile Information

Hometown:: Sydney, Australia

About Me:: I'm a long-time crime fiction reader with a preference for the hardboiled detective sub-genre but will read just about any crime novel that comes recommended.

My online presence revolves around the Australian Crime Fiction Database which lists details of crime fiction by Australian-based authors as well as reviews, awards, upcoming releases, etc.

I ramble on a little bit at my Crime Down Under blog and try to give a bit of a preview of the new Australian releases.

Books And Authors I Like:: Australian
Garry Disher, Peter Temple, Barry Maitland, Jon Cleary, Marele Day, Gabrielle Lord, David Owen, Peter Corris, Michael Robotham, Chris Nyst

Non Australian
Andrew Klavan, Dennis Lehane, Robert Crais, Lee Child, Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, Joe Gores, George Pelecanos, Ken Bruen, Walter Mosley.

Movies And TV Shows I Like:: I'm not a big TV watcher (I read books!!!) other than the footy (Go Collingwood) and the cricket.

Thanks for the brilliant NIGHT FERRY write-up. I'm really glad you liked it. I'm doing loads of promotion in OZ this time round. Hopefully we'll catch up.
