About Ash Rehn
I was born in 1969. Grazed in Brisbane, Praised in Sydney, Submerged in Stockholm. A karma chameleon trying to catch bubbles of ficto-memoir.
I’ve always loved stories. Listening to and telling stories connects back to my purpose, my sense of being. It’s how I make sense of my life. I was born in Brisbane, a city that seems to be always on the verge of something big but never quite gets there. My childhood was spent there and and on the nearby Gold Coast. When I was 25, I escaped to Sydney. I’ve also lived in London and various cities and towns across England, Edinburgh in Scotland and, for a number of years, in Stockholm, Sweden. I’m a graduate of the MA in Creative Writing at the University of Technology (UTS), Sydney and have a degrees in social work from the University of Queensland & Stockholm University. As a therapist I help people explore identity issues through metaphor and literary practice. I’m currently working on a novel as well as a non-fiction memoir. Both are based on themes of transgression and sexuality.
