I’ve worked as a sessional tutor and lecturer at Griffith University and the Queensland Institute of Technology, took part in the organisation of the first Gen Con Australia, and occasionally break up the long stings of writing and research by playing role-playing games. I‘ve been known to write poetry and role-playing products in addition to fiction, have done a short stint as a dramaturge, and once toured Australian writing festivals as part of the Post-Hoc Performing Word Company. Rumours of me wearing a feather boa and top-hat while performing rhyming couplets are, alas, not terribly exaggerated.A more-or-less complete list of my publications can be found here. This should cover the less part: over 2004 & 2005 I ran a small RPG e-publisher dubbed the Clockwork Golem Workshop, which involved a lot of editing and self-publishing, but I generally choose not to list that in my publications. Prior to 2004 I primarily wrote poetry, some of which was published in small-press anthologies I don’t have records or copies of.I don’t keep cats. Or dogs. Or fish. As you can expect, this is a significant drawback when maintaining a blog in the SF community. I do have a stuffed bear named Fudge. He’s the cute one in the Ball household.view less
