After a successful career of over 30 years as a graphic designer, Smith is indulging himself and turning his hand to the art of wordsmith. He has always been an avid reader of fiction, historical fiction, thriller, mystery, crime ... and science fiction, in his earlier years aeons ago. Smith’s hope is to provide his readers with an entertaining, immersive and thought-provoking experience - one they’ll not soon forget - and one that will have them asking him for more. Originally from Sydney, Australia, Smith moved to America in 1999 and now lives with his wife, Trish, two border collies - Shadow and Sydney, and one cat, The General (Bugsy), in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
