Don't ask me why, just say 'GO YOU GOOD THANG!' *scratches head, wonders what the hell she is doing*
about me
- CJM
- Carly-Jay Metcalfe is a writer of literary fiction, including novels, very long short stories thinly disguised as novellas, poetry, biography and is currently writing her memoir 'Chasing Away Salt Water'. She is one semester away from completing her (research) Masters in Creative Writing, which sounds gloriously smug and smacked with self-importance. It is neither of those things. Carly-Jay has been on an extended leave of absence due to a deluge of ill health from which she has now recovered. Her fiction, non-fiction and poetry have been published in various anthologies and her short story 'The Twelve Hands of Mother Lode', published in the Wet Ink 'Emerge' anthology was described as 'warm and evocative' by the Sydney Morning Herald. It was also a finalist in the 2002 State Library of Queensland Young Writers Award. A work of non-fiction was published in the Vignette Press 'Death Mook' in February. Carly-Jay has presented papers at writing conferences, performed her work and has been short-listed and runner-up for various literary awards. She rarely wins, but hopes this will change when people realise that she may have a way with words. It's a jungle out there.
