Well, What can I say.

I was born on November 17th 1964, in Wagga Wagga at 4:30am on a Tuesday, I moved to the Gold Coast Queensland about an hour South of Brisbane, On November 4th 1996. I met my life partner in 1997 and in 2003 we moved to Carrara, unfortunatly not the one in Italy. My partners son, Jesse, moved in with us for about a year but has now moved out. My parter, Wayne and I continue to share our lives, hopes and dreams and have a very good relationship still with his two daughters as well as his son.

My old home town of Wagga Wagga, is the largest inland city in New South Wales. If you find the map of Australia, you could be able to find were I once lived in the city of Wagga Wagga. My family house is exactly at this point: Long. 147deg 20min 30sec East Lat. 35deg 9min 26.45sec Sth. Sorry I can't get more acurate than that! It is within 10 meters :-) It's around 600 to 700 Km from the east coast toward the bottom of central New South Wales. Wagga is a Wiradjuri aboriginal word meaning crow. Generally the locals just call it Wagga. In 2003 the population was around 57,000

The geography of Australia encompasses a wide variety of biogeographic regions being the world's smallest continent but the sixth-largest country.

I love reading, maybe I should put that better, I'm an insatiable reader eg, I have read The Lord of The Rings 39 times so far this lifetime. I have personaly worn out 4 copies, always reading them till I am forced to turn individual pages over as they fall out of the book. I have given away 3 other copies, inspired my Partner's 18yo son to read it and curse Peter Jackson for his warping of the story for Hollywood.

The Librarian's during my school life were, Mrs Shepard during Primary school and in High school, Mrs Meade. These two remarkable ladies were, without doubt, the most influential people on my reading and my love for literature and words. I still have the Library Week book prize I won in Primary school "The Pine Tree That Went to Sea" by Joy Dueland, Illustrated by Louis Cary. Ginn & Company, Publishers, 1971 Hard Cover. It is a treasured memory of Childhood and the awakening of dreams and imagination. In High school, Mrs Meade, read our class The Hobbit, a book that opened the door to worlds of strange creatures, magic and gave me my own personal key to escape the horrors of adolesent bullying and abuse from my fellow students.

I'm currently writing a novel "The Loss of Innocence Affair" for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Yahoo Fanfic group. The Novel is a Slash fiction Slash fiction is fan fiction, describing gay pairings between media characters, often in explicit detail, and very frequently outside the canon of the source. So if you are not interested in it, don't go reading the link.
