After living in New York City and traveling the world, Adair moved to Australia in the late 1990s, where she established a writing career. After a recent stint in Portland, Oregon, one of America’s most lively literary cities, she is now living in Florence, Italy, learning Italian, exploring art, culture, food, and enjoying all the world has to offer.

Adair authored a column for Arts Hub called “The Write Style” on what an emerging writer can learn from avid reading. She also won a number of awards and residencies. Her short story “One Hundred Points” won the One Book, Many Brisbanes competition, which led to other short fiction publications. She was a Varuna resident in 2010 and was awarded a 2018 Oregon Literary Fellowship for Fiction.

In addition to journalism and short fiction, Adair is currently working on Quantum Entanglements, a memoir about love and illness, and Scrim, a novel that recounts a despairing affair between a 15-year-old California girl and her much older lover.
