About the author
Alan lives in the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia. He grew up in Katoomba, NSW and spent much of his childhood, bushwalking, rock climbing, reading books, watching television, or writing stories.
As a member of the audience, he has always enjoyed science fiction, a good mystery, suspense or thriller. Looking in from the outside was never enough though; he craved creating these stories.
As a young man, he was dissuaded from pursuing his life as a writer. "How would you live?" the career adviser asked in an interview. So, more by fate than by design, he fell into a career in Information Technology and there he has wandered for over thirty years.
In 2012, Alan graduated with a Master of Arts (Writing), over the years has written many short stories, and has completed six novels. He is working on another two novels. The skills he learned as a computer programmer and systems analyst now meld with knowledge of writing and his imagination to create engaging stories.
Apart from writing and spending time with his family, Alan enjoys sailing, aviation, riding his motorcycle and any (well almost any) new and exciting experiences.
