Dave Cornford

Dave Cornford has long balanced creative pursuits in writing, stage directing, videography and gastronomy with a career dealing with numbers.

His first book, "Cracks in the Ceiling" (2011), is a collection of short stories set in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, while his second, "Nanna's Travel Tips" (2012), is a humourous look at travel through the eyes of "Nanna".

He has also published:

"The Queensberry Rule". A novel about the dark side of revenge, and the illusiveness of redemption.

"Warm Honey" is a novel about families and the shadows they cast.

The "Advanced Smash Repairs" series, which is set in a smash repair business that "knows too much." Quirky and off-beat, the series is available in six separate episodes, or as one "six pack."

The Diary of the 17th Man is a series of unhinged cricket humour, written in diary form by the "17th Man" - the last man picked in the Australian Cricket Team.

"Live-Fiction" is an ongoing series of novellas, each tackling a contemporary issue through a fictional lens. There are now more than a dozen stories and three anthologies available, as well as a podcast.

Dave lives in Sydney with his wife and three children.
