Ross Kinnish

Ross Kinnish, at the age of 17 and after watching far too many Top Gun re-runs, was informed he was too tall to become a fighter pilot. Instead he chose an equally exciting and dangerous career as a computer programmer but, from closed-in and fart smelling computer rooms, dreamt of being an author.Throughout his life, Ross has been inspired by science fiction and fantasy literature for children and young adults. Works such as the Narnia Chronicles and Watership Down, and authors such as Terry Pratchett have taken pride of place on his bookshelf.He has been writing short stories since his mid-teens, and has had several published in periodicals and anthologies. Of a Boy and a Dragon is his first full-length novel, and reflects the passion and delight he has found in a lifetime of enjoying similar works.He holds university degrees in both Science and Engineering, and currently works (but is easily distracted) in the Information Technology industry. He lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife and two boys, who are his three biggest distractions.
