Author description

Born in England but raised in Dunedin from the age of 6, Justin finished his education at Otago University and has been associated with the University in various capacities ever since. He is currently the HelpDesk Advisor at the University, helping both staff and students with their computer problems. Justin believes he was always a writer, though for many years he ploughed this creative urge into role-playing games, either as a player or running the games himself for friends. Ideas, stories, and characters were boiling around in his mind and one day he saw a website that took selected stories from unpublished authors and put them up on their site. So, he knuckled down and wrote a story that the site accepted. "I haven't looked back since that day."
