Hi! My name’s Ash Brom, a bestselling author in several dimensions but not yet in this one.

I’m a writer, editor, proofreader, reviewer, publisher, website designer, and English as an Additional Language teacher. In the past I’ve been a bartender, kitchenhand, telemarketer, sheet metal warehouse worker, event organiser, receptionist, curriculum designer, accountant, actor, stand-up comedian, assistant manager, sponsorship organiser, kindergarten teacher, DJ, photographer, tree planter, kittysitter, parcel sorter (aka box juggler), pick packer, door to door salesman, kid’s camp manager, voting booth assistant, ghostwriter, ghost editor, and, once in Wuhan, China, I was paid to be a German for an afternoon. 

I spent eight and a half years in China, and self-published his memoirs of this period as Chicken Same Duck Talk: Diary of an Australian Teacher in China (鸡同鸭讲: 澳洲老师的日记) in 2019, ISBN 9780646804521.

I’ve had stories, poems, reviews, interviews and feature articles printed in Australia, China and Timor-Leste. 

In this dimension I’m a bipedal, endothermic vertebrate, and a slave to oxygen, gravity and sustenance. I’m currently a mammal, but hope one day to be an octopod.

The photo is me at Longmen Grottoes, Luoyang Henan province (洛阳龙门石窟) in China, one of the most sublime places I’ve ever had the honour of visiting.
