I’ve had a variety of careers, including fruit picker and Occult librarian and lived in Germany and Denmark for a decade. Now I’m back in my beloved Melbourne and working for the railways.
I’ve published 6 books as me including the Aurealis award winners Fire Angels and Aramaya, and one book as Rebecca Locksley – A Shining Knight. All have recently been re-released as ebooks under my own name. Shadow in the Empire of Light is available as an Audiobook. My short stories have been widely anthologized, appeared in Meanjin and read on the ABC.
My favourite writers are Jane Austen, Angela Carter, Sara Douglass, Janet Evanovich, and Gail Carriger.
I’m a keen TTRPG player and a judge for the Australian Role Playing Industry Awards.
My current life ambition is to see an erupting volcano.
