Well hello!

Thanks for clicking this far.
Maybe, like me, you have been faced with the death of someone close and haven’t known what to do or say about it.
Maybe someone you love is going through this.
I want to make talking about, and planning for death as straightforward as possible.

I live on beautiful Taungurung country in Central Victoria, Australia, and I pay my heartfelt respects to the indigenous people of this special place, and their leaders, past, present and emerging. I believe we have a long way to go in terms of reconciliation, in the home and heart as in the nation.

I love the fact that I can connect with people across the globe with online technologies. We must make this planet a more humane, healthy and compassionate place for all its inhabitants.

I am passionate about making everything I do sustainable, from reducing and re-using the resources I have, to utilising new Print-On-Demand methodologies to get my books out into the world.

When I’m not writing or speaking, I write songs and sing! I am also a ukulele tragic, and can be found loitering by the mic at the Heathcote pizzaboxpoets events on a regular basis.

At some point, I hope to die a gentle, loving and considered death, but before then, I’m determined to LIVE.
