The Oakhaven Chronicles: Tales from the Residual World

Author Bio: Max Tuffy

Born in the gritty, creative heart of Fitzroy, Melbourne in 1975, Max Tuffy spent most of his life more concerned with the flow of pipes and the flight of a cricket ball than the flow of prose. A lifelong “tradie,” Max has earned his living as a plumber, a career that taught him the value of a job done right and the necessity of a thick skin. Max’s journey into the literary world was anything but traditional. A “late bloomer” by his own admission, he only picked up the pen after being dared to submit a story to a popular women’s magazine. To his own surprise—and the mild irritation of his mates—he won. Max lives in Melbourne, where he continues to balance the wrench and the keyboard, usually with a sarcastic remark at the ready for anyone who takes him—or his books—too seriously.
