Chris Pash Australia

Bio
The Last Whale (2008) was partly based on Chris Pash’s experiences as a cadet reporter at the Albany Advertiser in Western Australia in the 1970s. Later he was a foreign correspondent, bureau chief and editor. He fell into the commercial side of the news industry in the mid-1990s and founded a successful Singapore-registered joint-venture news company. Currently living in Sydney, he is planning his next book, a biography of Greenpeace founder Bob Hunter. He uses social media to promote the writings of Western Australian authors and is guest editor of Indigo Literary Journal. During the day, he works for a global media company.




What book would you like to snuggle under covers with, and why?
"I like stories about the American West.  And Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry is the best. The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel follows a group of ageing Texas Rangers on a cattle drive from Texas to Montana. You can lose yourself in breadth and depth of this book. The characters live."
