Paul Burman was born in Northamptonshire, England, but emigrated to Australia with his wife and two children in 1989. He has worked a number of jobs - in shops, gardens, warehouses and factories - but spent many years teaching English, literature and drama to secondary school students before quitting to write, paint, grow fruit and vegetables, and occasionally make furniture. His novels, short stories, poems and articles have been published in Britain and Australia, and his plays have been performed both locally and further afield. He currently lives in Port Fairy on the south-west coast of Victoria.
