Todd Alexander

If he's not kissing his pig or brushing his goats, you'll generally find Todd at the computer writing, on the mower thinking, in the kitchen experimenting or in the foetal position trying to solve his parents' latest technological drama. Todd's betselling comedic memoir, Thirty Thousand Bottles of Wine and a Pig Called Helga (2019) was longlisted for three awards for best non-fiction book of the year. It was followed in 2021 by another comedy, You've Got to be Kidding. His short story, 'The Great Easter Let Down' was longlisted for the Newcastle Short Story Award in 2021. Todd has also written two novels and feature stories for Nourish magazine and The Guardian. He lives in the Hunter Valley with his partner Jeff where they rescue farm animals and renovate properties.
