tosca

I have always made my living writing, as editor, feature and column writer, television and advertising hack. Now I am also writing fiction and my first novel, The Gene Thieves, was released in 2009 by Harper Collins. In another life I was a TV presenter and producer too. Love you to read my work. You can visit me at www.genethieves.com and find out about the novel, shipped worldwide by Aussie book stores online, and also published in Mandarin and Turkish this year.
