Mike Cavanagh is now in his sixties and has no idea how that happened. He lives with his wife, Julie, adult son Dan, and two black cats in Bateman’s Bay, NSW. Two other adult children, left home eventually, complete the extended menagerie.

The house Mike and Julie live in is quirky and in need of regular maintenance, as are its owners. Mike also writes poetry, fiction, plays guitar and composes music, is doing research on rock-wallabies, and spends far too much time playing computer role playing games. He does none of these very well, necessarily, but he does them.

Mike thought he knew who he was until a diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome in his sixties gave him pause to rethink who he thought he was, and how he got here. Having no real idea how to proceed from there, he wrote his memoir, 'One of Its Legs are Both the Same'. It was not the memoir he thought he was going to write, so he wrote another one, 'A Pocket Full of Days'.
