'John W. Gordon works in the library at the South West Campus of Edith Cowan University, and surfs in the seas around Margaret River. He is an alumnus of Flinders University, the University of South Australia, and Edith Cowan University, and has appeared in various publications, when a much younger man, either produced by, or connected with, the venerable SA Writers Centre in Adelaide.'
