Biography

Deane, born in Melbourne, Australia, lived in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1990s, working as a technology journalist. He has also worked as a press secretary and speechwriter for the Australian Labor Party.

Deane's first novel, "Another", was considered a “striking debut” by "Melbourne Weekly" and "reminiscent of Tim Winton’s "Cloudstreet" by "Australian Book Review". His first collection of poetry, "Subterranean Radio Songs", was short-listed for the 2006 Anne Elder Award, and has been called "brilliantly energetic" and "virtuosic" by "Australian Book Review".
