Australian Fibber, Fabricator, Teller-of-Tall-Tales
Cage Dunn lives in Adelaide, South Australia.
She was born in the wide-open spaces of Western Australia, qualified with BA Comm (Professional & Creative Writing) and Grad. Dip. Computing; worked in so many jobs the list goes on for pages. And pages. Anyone would think Cage was a nomad.
Who is Cage Dunn: a storyteller, a dreamer, an imaginer. Always learning, always observing. All those life experiences need a story.

I knew I was a storyteller ….
When I was a child
A very young child
I had many siblings
Some were afraid of the dark
Some liked to listen to the dreams of far, far away
All liked to know
Someone was there
To make the darkness into light
Make the monsters be friendly
Give them dreams of a tomorrow
Where they could be wise
Or wealthy
Or famous
I would tell them the stories
Make them up
Take the stories of other people
Make them our own
Whisper them quietly
Speak them loudly
Sing them badly
I did not write these stories down
But I was the storyteller
And they will tell you
Of their very own teller-of-tall-tales.
