I'm an academic wannabe novelist writing on foreign policy, diplomacy and East Asia until I can jump from being a spy fiction ghostwriter to a novelist :)

I previously worked for the Australian Government in the fields of foreign policy and diplomacy with a focus on East Asia. Now I write from the other side of the line - as an academic, consultant, and sometimes spy fiction ghostwriter. At junotane.com, I write about international relations with a focus on diplomatic practice, middle powers, and the Korean Peninsula region. As an advisory warning, my writing is direct, no holds barred, cutting commentary from in-country. It may offend. There’s no government baloney, no corporate cream, and no thinktank spruiking. Just free-thinking insight from personal commentary, analysis and fiction.
