Michael Burge is a journalist, author, publisher and artist who lives at Deepwater on Ngarrabul Country in the New England region of NSW.
His debut novel Tank Water and its sequel Dirt Trap are a rural noir storytelling cycle about homophobia and justice in the bush.
A graduate of Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art, he has also edited and written for Fairfax Media, Australian Community Media, Intermedia, United News & Media UK and News Corporation. He is a board member of the BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival and a member of the Australian Crime Writers Association.

Books will be available for sale at the event with Book Face Erina joining us for the morning. A morning tea will be available after the event, with thanks to Brentwood Village.
Tickets are FREE thanks to the partnership between Words on the Waves and Keyton/Brentwood Village, as well as our wonderful team of volunteers who help with these events. The cafe will be open prior to the event if you want to grab a coffee to bring in with you.
As part of Words on the Waves Writers Festival we have introduced Central Coast Reads, a community-wide reading program consisting of book clubs and author talks. The aim is to not only encourage reading and social and human connections through a love of books, but also to establish the Central Coast region as a region of ‘readers’ on the cultural map of Australia.
