adelaideseanWhat was the very first bio you ever had published?
Mine was:
"
(The Esoteric Order of Dagon (EOD) Magazine, May 1991)
Things have changed just a tad since then.
Post links if you put up your own. I'm curious.

"
Sean Williams lives in Adelaide and Play [sic] Radio is his first short story to appear in print. He is the son of a priest and says he's an atheist and non-practising witch. Apart from hoping to one day write professionally, Sean is also studying part time for his BA in music, and has also won the SA 1984 Young Composer Award. He is currently working on a novel about the music scene in Adelaide."(The Esoteric Order of Dagon (EOD) Magazine, May 1991)

First bio
Date: 2008-02-15 06:52 am (UTC)According to that sterling book THE ROAD TO EMMAUS: A HISTORY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT CONGREGATION IN AUSTRALIA (2007), by the excellently-named historian Damien Cash,
"...the editor of the MONSTRANCE, Fr John Gartner... published Broderick's article `The God of the Eucharist'... in June 1960. The young writer was miffed that Gartner had described him as `a 16 year old student in our House of Studies in Bowral (he was only 15)" (p. 250). When I wrote and submitted my pantheistic little effusion, that is.
Ho hum. But at least my *father* wasn't a priest...

So many great titles in your post, Damien. Makes me want to write a thumping great space opera, THE GOD OF MONSTRANCE...
