I grew up in the pristine South Australian fishing port, Port Lincoln. After completing a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Adelaide, I pursued my study of Chinese in Shanghai and Nanjing before commencing my teaching career in Canberra.
In 1997 I moved to Brunei Darussalam to start teaching internationally.
​
Since then I have lived and worked in the United Kingdom, Germany, China and Hong Kong.

My poetry has been published in literary journals in Hong Kong and the U.S.

The Wild Grass
by Graeme Brasher
​
When you are bred to be eaten, freedom is your only hope.
​
Sam had never liked the way the livestock on the farm were treated. She understood that the animals were her parents’ livelihood and that nothing much could be done about it; still, their fate troubled her. When her father herded them into the yards for drenching, tailing, or drafting, she mostly bit her lip and turned a blind-eye to the harshness of it all.
​
Set on a farm on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Graeme Brasher’s The Wild Grass is the stirring tale of twin lambs’ attempts to escape their fate. The lambs live alongside the human family who own them and the wild animals who make their living on the periphery of the farm.
​
Feral cats and scavenger crows threaten, but it is the humans who care for them that pose the gravest threat. When flooding leads to plans for the early dispatch of the lambs to market, the twins are forced to recognize their lives are at risk.
​
Each must now make choices that mean the difference between life and death. Sanctuary lies a long perilous journey away. Can the Untamed lead them to safety?
We are happy to announce that the following pieces of work have been nominated by Cha for inclusion in Best of the Net Anthology 2011, published by Sundress. Congratulations to these writers and good luck!
