My name is JB Rowley. There are lots of things about me I won’t tell you but I will tell you that I grew up in a small Australian town called Orbost in the state of Victoria. I spent my childhood chasing snakes and lizards down hollow logs, playing Hansel and Gretel in the bush with my brothers, climbing trees, searching the local rubbish tip for books to read and generally behaving like a feral child. We didn’t have horses (apart from an old draught horse) but we had sheep so I used to ride on the back of a big ram. I also did a lot of reading, usually curled up in the hay shed. One book I remember reading as a kid was Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I was only around six when I read it and the character that I have never forgotten is the convict. He really frightened me! These days I live in Melbourne (Australia) where, when I am not writing, I work as an English tutor. I nurture my soul with early morning walks around beautiful Albert Park Lake. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you who read my books and to those who generously take the time to post reviews of the books I write. PS: I also write the Dusty Kent Murder Mystery series under the pen name Brigid George.
