In order to keep doing what I do, it's important that if people borrow bits of my work this is acknowledged and done thoughtfully, and if the use is substantial that compensation is made (where possible) for the blood, sweat and tears. So if you wish to quote a small amount, as long as it is properly acknowledged and referenced, that's great. But for anything over (let's say) 300 consecutive words, please contact me and we can talk about it. Writing is what I do for a living; please don't rip me off. (Not only is it ba-aaad karma, but you might get caught.)

Acknowledgments:

Thanks to: Richard Martin, my original webmaster who got it all started; Helen Kundicevic, for the cover image of Things in a Glass Box, which is from her series, The Philosopher's Stone; to Linda Dement and Random House for the cover image of How to Conceive of a Girl; to Peter Steele for the black and white photos of me at Bondi Beach and having a cup of tea from 1997; and to the reviewers and critics I've quoted.

Want to buy the books?

Both How to Conceive of a Girl and Things in a Glass Box are currently out of print as books, but the full text of each is on my cd-rom Box of Words, with pdf versions that you can print out for easy reading (formatted like a book). Box of Words also contains a new collection of essays, stories and poems called Heart, Mouth, and audio versions of many of the pieces from these three collections. Or you can get the double audio cd Body of Words, if you want something to listen to in the car or while doing your dishes. Body & Box of Words are both available from Dogmedia.
