I live in a little shed-house in the Aussie bush with my daughter, my Dalmatian, two hens and probably more reptiles than most people are comfortable with. I’m a recovering professional musician, with a foot in the door of an academic career asking too many questions about why people people. Mostly I just like being by myself with plants and chooks and loads of music and audiobooks and birdsong. I really, really like being by myself.
