About the Author

Jeremy Tyrrell is a Software Engineer by day and an Author by night, and a father somewhere in the middle of all of that. He was born in Western Australia, but don’t hold that against him, because he grew up in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.

He has spent a lot of time in the service of humanity; a burger boy, a janitor, a service worker, a tutor of mathematics and physics, a freelance programmer. It’s a rich tapestry filled with coffee stains, open wounds and subtle regrets.

Happily married, whether he likes it or not, he advocates hard work and believes that the reward of a finished product borne of a job well done beats the stuffings out of false praise and sycophantic adulation. Funnily enough, he’s not a fan of hyperbole.

He is a fan and writer of Weird fiction, and prefers to blend a human aspect into any fictional setting, exploring what it means to be a free soul within a world that didn’t come with an instruction manual. Jez, as he’s known to his friends and family, can’t help but write about the human side of things, the raw stuff that we think about when we’re alone in the shower. He’s also a fan of octopuses, ghosts and science fiction, which explains Tedrick Gritswell, Paranormology and Adaptation.
