About
I write books and things and build websites.
I’ve written three books of Australian history for children (published under the name Chris Miles) and have contributed, under a house name, to a best-selling action series aimed at reluctant readers.
I’ve also had short fiction for children and adults published in journals and anthologies, and have worked as a magazine editor and feature writer.
As a freelance web developer I’ve built websites for businesses, community groups and individuals, including best-selling children’s authors Andy Griffiths and Carole Wilkinson. A gallery of my website designs is available on my Flickr page.
I blog about my children’s books at chrismiles.com.au, and maintain a somewhat more “irreverent” blog at slimejam.net under the guise Slimejam St. Herpeschoir.
My interests include Doctor Who, pizza, Lego™ and Dungeons & Dragons. Readers may draw their own conclusions about my physiognomy, health, social skills and sexual aptitude.
I currently reside in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, with my partner, our daughter and the ghosts of three chickens.
