Cage writes Aussie horror/speculative fiction.
A dreamer, a schemer, an imaginer. Some would say Fibber, Fabricator, Teller of Tall Tales. Yep – Storyteller.
Born in the mid-northwest wheat-belt of Western Australia; lived all over Australia, worked at everything from sewage collection to computer programming; graduated with a BA Comm (Prof. Writing) and Grad Dip Computing.
You’ll find Cage in Adelaide, South Australia, behind the sunny window where the ideas flow in with the sun, where the birds argue about territory, and where dogs and people wander at will.

Palaeontology Prospecting

A short story, approx 250 words. Prize in hand, me ‘n Paul took off from the outback dig site like roos’ chased by shooters. The old farm vehicle we’d ‘borrowed’ chugged along the track like a trooper – until we hit the flooded creek. “Why’s it rainin’?” Paul yelled, smacking the steering wheel. “We gotta … Continue reading Palaeontology Prospecting Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Cage Dunn  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Each tool has a soul, a memory of what it can do, what it has done.”
Cage Dunn, Herja, Devastation

“Don’t you know what ordinary people do to protect each other?”

“I’m not ordinary, Cella.” That should warn the girl.

“No one is truly ordinary. But you could be. You know what it takes to put on the mask of ordinary, but you don’t seem to understand that under the mask is the real thing — got one of those in your kit bag? A real person who’s more than a mask for the job?”
Cage Dunn, The Old Woman the Mad Horse: Case File for: the Big Three Mining Investigations

“The woman, well, she’s the devil to some, vengeance incarnate, the one who uses scars on the soul to hold you still while your heart comes out for examination.”
Cage Dunn, Herja, Devastation

Cage Dunn, The Old Woman the Mad Horse: Case File for: the Big Three Mining Investigations

“The first time, she’d done it off her own instincts, and he’d ripped her to shreds for not including the team in her decisions, but since then, he’d asked her what she’d have done if alone. This was why. There would always come a time when no one could help. Working alone meant making those choices, taking those chances.”
Cage Dunn, The Old Woman the Mad Horse: Case File for: the Big Three Mining Investigations

“In nature, nothing is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways and they're still beautiful.”
Alice Walker

“Laughter isn't even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth. We blunder along, shredded by our mistakes, bludgeoned by our faults. Not having a clue where the dark path leads us. But on the whole, we stumble along bravely, don't you think?”
Alice Walker

“I tell my students, 'When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.”
Toni Morrison
