Contributor Bio(s): Gillmore, Ged: - Ged Gillmore grew up in the Midlands of England before moving to London where he completed degrees in languages and literature at the University of London. After graduating, Ged worked in France, Germany and Italy before returning to London for eighteen years where he gained experience in a variety of roles including the police service, the film industry and banking. Fancying a change to sunnier climes, Ged made the leap to Sydney in early 2004. These days he spends his time between Australia, Ireland and the UK. When he's not falling off his surfboard at Bondi or dabbling with a day job which pays the bills he sits at his laptop and bashes out fiction. Ged admits he is a nightmare to market as he writes both contemporary noir mysteries as well as middle-grade humor. In October 2017, Ged released HEADLAND- the first book in the new 'Bill Murdoch Mystery' series, which follows the adventures of the world's most reluctant private investigator. Murdoch returns in the sequels CLASS ACT (January 2018) and BASE NATURE (March 2018). For more information and exclusive extracts, visit: www.gedgillmore.com |
