Garrett RussellGarrett Russell has, at various times, been a yacht delivery deckhand, an oriental antique dealer, a television producer, a film director, and he is still a flying instructor and glider pilot. His vocation, however, has always been writing. He has woked as an advertising copywriter, a screenwriter for television and film, a magazine contributor, and his short stories have been published in anthologies and magazines in Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong, and internationally online. He has worked in England and Hong Kong as well as his native Australia, where he lives in the Sunshine State of Queensland.
He was a founding member of CrimeWriters Queensland and creative director responsible for design and production of all that group's publications: bestselling short story anthologies, an audiobook, and a series of booklets for travel reading called Tripping Yarns. His own stories were selected by the group's independent editors for inclusion in all these titles.
His television credits include Australian drama series Pacific Drive and Adrenaline Junkies, and documentaries for Discovery Channel and History Channel as well as all Australian commercial broadcast networks. He was most recently the writer/producer for seven series of the long-running network show Escape with ET and three series of Seafood Escape.
His award-winning short films have screened at festivals around the world. Read More Read Less
