About the author
After a career as a teacher and principal of mainly small rural schools, Ross Richdale lives in the small university city of Palmerston North in the North Island of New Zealand where he writes contemporary novels and science fiction. He is married with three adult children and five grandchildren.
Ross has always had an interest in the written word and has been a constant reader of current events magazines and newspapers. As a teenager, he'd slip into the local library and read overseas newspapers to pick up exotic stories or study the advertisements or television programs of far away cities. He preferred articles where his mind was pulled to distant places and adventures. Later, he wrote stories to stimulate the children he taught in his classes and ideas were expanded into full-length stories that disappeared into dusty files. He found writing fiction for children was not stimulating enough so he switched to writing adult novels and that continues to the present time.
His interest in current events and international incidents serve as a backdrop for many of his novels. Ordinary people rather than the super rich super powerful or violent, are the main characters in his stories. Often a tiny article read is expanded into a full sized novel after research and the use of his vivid imagination. His plots also reflect his interest in the rural lifestyle as well as the cross section of personalities encountered during his years as a teacher.
