“At First, I’d Find Any Excuse Not to Write”

Garry Disher, the 57-year-old Australian author (of Chain of Evidence, Death Deal, etc.) who has been receiving a good deal of attention over at Glenn Harper’s International Noir Fiction blog, is profiled this week in The Sydney Morning Herald. It seems that 2008 marks Disher’s 20th year as a full-time writer. The Herald’s profile, which can be found here, is something of a primer for anyone else thinking to take the plunge into authorhood.
