על המחבר
I grew up in country Speers Point, NSW, Australia. My background is in science and technology, but in 2000 I ran across the story of the charmed life of an old Broome pearling lugger, and discovered the joys of historical research and writing. My first book, Redbill, won the Western Australian Premier's Book Award for Non-Fiction. My second book, Alan Villiers, won the Mountbatten Maritime Award, and my novels include Silver Highways, The Turning Tide, Atomic Sea, Testing the Limits and Embers at Midnight. I now live in green South Gippsland, Victoria.
