I'm the author of more than 25 books. My work includes biographies of the Finn brothers, Johnny O’Keefe, Marc Hunter, the Bee Gees, ‘Shirley’ Strachan, Daniel Johns, John Farnham and Keith Urban. I've also ghostwritten with musicians, including ARIA Hall of Famer Kasey Chambers, sportsmen, diplomats and soldiers of fortune. Most recently, I helped soccer star Tim Cahill update his memoir, Legacy.
I was the dramaturge for the Helpmann Award-nominated 2015 live production, A State of Grace: The Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley. I also spent four years on staff at Oz Rolling Stone. Over the years I've had the good fortune to interview such greats as Aretha Franklin, Robbie Robertson, the Rolling Stones, Helen Reddy, Mick Rock and Patti Smith. This workcan be found at the Rock's Back Pages website.
My new book, The Book of Daniel: From Silverchair to Dreams, is out through Allen & Unwin. It can be ordered at Booktopia. The book has been well received; ABC Illawarra said it was a 'cracking read', while Rod Quinn of ABC Overnights described it as a 'great story, well told'. You can read more at the Daily Telegraph, Who magazine, the Daily Mail and TheMusic website. I also spoke with Zan Rowe at Double J.
A smaller format edition of my bestselling 2017 biography of Angus Young, entitled High Voltage, is also out now, while a new edition of my Jeff Buckley bio, A Pure Drop, is out now. You can read about the book at The Guardian and news.com.au. 
Here's a gallery of images charting where I've been and who I've met. Life's never dull, that's for sure. And Matty Johns is a dead-set legend.
