WELCOME

Dorian Mode M.A. (Hons) is a multi-award-winning jazz musician and composer but these days is better known for his laugh-out-loud funny books. A Café in Venice (Penguin) and The Mozart Maulers (Penguin) received rave reviews and are published in translation in Europe. And his first-person reading of his last novel has been played twice on Radio National.

In 2006 Dorian recorded a new jazz trio CD winning an ABC Radio Music Award for Best Jazz Composition and Best Instrumental in 2007. He was also recently awarded a prestigious Varuna Writing Fellowship. For the past decade he has lectured in jazz at the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music and currently lectures in creative writing at Newcastle University.
