I was born in England in 1951, and migrated to Australia in 1964. I studied Agricultural Science at Adelaide University and worked as a research technician at the Waite Agricultural Institute for 17 years.
My wife and I have owned and run an aquarium shop in the Adelaide Hills since 1990. We have 4 children and 2 grandchildren.
I have written a number of science fiction books, but am currently branching out into other genera.
I am a Cat who has had a lot of experiences in my 4 years. In my Autobiography with 21 pictures and 5000 words you can meet my friends like Michael, the local mob and the kind farmer, hate my enemies like the Big Fat Ugly Dog, the Bad Man and the Satanic Cat and laugh at the odd ideas of the enigmatic Bad Boy.
Jonathan Rush and the Star Academy
on July 10, 2011
A good young peoples' book can be read with enjoyment by people of any age. This book is intended for young people, but although I am not young I still enjoyed it immensely.
“Jonathan Rush and the Star Academy” is well worth reading.
Between Honor & Glory
on July 10, 2011
This is a very well written story with considerable excitement as well as real messages about honor and responsibility. I recommend reading it.
I Am A Submariner
on Aug. 06, 2011
This is an excellent book. I would have liked it to be longer; it is very clear that the author has enormous knowledge of his subject.
The Sunset of Big Oil
on Aug. 12, 2011
This is a very readable story that once I had started reading I read straight through without a break. As a printed book it would be very difficult to put down.
As well as the story 'The Sunset of Big Oil' there was the added bonus of information about other books by Terry Compton, and the quite long first chapter of another good book by Mr. Compton.
Smite Me, Oh Dark One
on Aug. 29, 2011
An excellent but unusual story. Very well written. I look forward to reading more of Steve Thomas's books.
Galaxium
on Nov. 03, 2012
Galaxium is a very exciting story told in a gripping way that made it difficult for me to stop reading. I read it in one sitting despite having other things I should have been doing. The story stopped at an exciting point. I eagerly await the sequel.
