Introducing our new serial writer, Martin Smith!

Martin's new serial – Hare, There and Everywhere – premieres on Geelong Cereal tomorrow (Sunday 24 May). Keep your eyes peeled!

Martin Smith is an Australian author—a humorist, of sorts—of short fiction. He lives and writes in a beach house at the tip of the Bellarine Peninsula. When he is not banging away on his keyboard with thumbs, index fingers or forehead, or reading his scribblings to his beloved Rose, you’ll more likely than not find him walking the beach barefoot at low tide or downing a double scoop of Rocky Road at the local ice-creamery.

He has written six collections of comedies, all of which remain unpublished as the craziness that is retired life gives him a good excuse to procrastinate. At the end of 2026, he hopes to have published those books and also have relaunched his website (www.martinsmithstories.com). If he doesn’t, it means he’s enjoying life (probably a little too much). In the meantime, you can read eight of his shorter comedies that were published in February 2023.

His only claim to fame is that he once swallowed two Tom Bowlers (simultaneously), only to be accused of losing his marbles.
