Mr. Todd James Pierce has an online sample of his published writing which interested parties can go read for free. It is located at http://mailer.fsu.edu/~tjp4773/theliteraryreview-australia.html.

Oh my god, the horror, the horror.

This is supposed to be some kind of memoir about Australia? It contains so many schoolboy howlers in the first two paragraphs I can't bear to read on.

He says the Sydney Harbour bridge is "bronze", which is isn't, even figuratively, he gets the name of Governor Philip wrong, he refers to the "Christian Brother's" school -- there was just the one brother? He drinks "Bitters" instead of "Bitter" ... I could go on and on forever.

Did he just fake his work's appearance in an Australian Journal as part of his "lie about your work" system? Does he think people in Australia aren't on the internet yet and won't notice?
