About the author
Ged Gillmore 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. 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. He writes tense and taut contemporary mysteries, alongside laugh-out-loud chapter books for kids. Most recently he has turned his hand to travel writing too.
In October 2017, Ged launched HEADLAND, the first book in the 'Bill Murdoch Mystery' series. The sequel, CLASS ACT, launched in January 2018, and the third book in the series, BASE NATURE, was released in March 2018. In July 2018, CLASS ACT was nominated for the Ned Kelly Awards 2018 (Australia's most prestigious crime novel prize).
In May 2019, Ged published 'Stans By Me', a memoir of his whirlwind travels through Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan), all told with a generous dollop of his deadpan British wit.
