Robin Baker knows death. A young ex-English
teacher-turned-funeral-director, Robin spends
his days lecturing and tutoring at a local Perth
university. He also writes book reviews for the local papers while working on his next darkly comic coming-of-age tale. He studied creative writing alongside a raft of pure humanities subjects, which help him delve into the minds of his often quirky and morbid characters. After a post-graduate degree in secondary teaching, a predictable career was sidetracked by a six-year stint as a funeral director. He is a likeable character who creates decidedly unlikeable ones.
