| Caiseal Mor squandered his youth in the town of Woop-Woop, Queensland. Diagnosed as autistic at a young age, he struggled to be "normal". At twenty, after failing spectacularly to fit in, he got it into his head to run away and join the circus. Within a year he’d moved into a damp share-house in North London. It was during his stay in England he first encountered eccentricity as a way of life and this experience inspired him to cut a path somewhat at odds with the establishment. When his working holiday visa expired he returned to Australia intending to study. A degree in theatre arts proved to be an excellent preparation for the life of a ne’er-do-well. Nevertheless, for a short while, he managed to secure paid employment as a high school teacher. His first novel, "The Circle and The Cross", was a bestseller when it was published in 1994. These days he's kept busy as a writer, sculptor, musician and traveller. Caiseal is currently living on a precarious income somewhere in the wilds of Eastern Victoria. His life is blessed by the presence of his best friend, Helen, and an assortment of inquisitive marsupials. This author has been recommended by 21 other readers. | |
