Michael James has published in Overland Journal, époque e-zine, The Suburban Review, and Belle Ombre, and produced several podcasts, including Australia’s only rollerblading podcast — Mad Beef Rollerblading Podcast. He is currently seeking publication for his novel on the rise, fall and rebirth of rollerblading (inline skating). Michael loves cooking; is a passionate reader of fiction and non-fiction; and although in his forties, is still learning new tricks in the halfpipe on his rollerblades.
