Paul Burman was born in Northamptonshire, England, but has lived in Port Fairy, Australia, for twenty-odd years. He's worked in a wine-bottling factory, a deep freeze, a plumbing warehouse, the Post Office, as well as being an English teacher, a shop assistant, a maize 'castrator' in the south of France... and he once had a newspaper round until a neighbour's dog bit him. That he's been compulsively reading and writing fiction from the age of six may be the result of a childhood indiscretion in which he was caught inadvertently telling the truth. Making up stories has remained a happy obsession ever since.
