Pj McDermottPJ McDermott was born in his grandparents house in the town of Barrhead just outside Glasgow, but spent most of his growing up in Ferguslie Park, a notorious suburb of Paisley, where he developed a healthy appreciation for self preservation. In his tens and early twenties, PJ sang and played in a number of bands on the local folk circuit and pub scene. By twenty-one, a girlfriend convinced him to go to Glasgow University where he had a ball, and graduated Bachelor of Science. When he graduated, he met and fell in love with an Aussie girl who convinced him to return to Melbourne with her. Married to Susan, they now have two children (Fiona and Gillian) and two grandchildren (Mia, who is especially cheeky) and Ryder Patrick (who is too young to be cheeky yet - but is very cute). PJ discovered a love for writing and published his first book in 2014 - a coming of age novel titled "Small Fish Big Fish", since fully re-visioned, revised and reissued. PJ is currently working on the third book in his science fiction series, the Prosperine Trilogy. The first two, "Avanaux: A Hickory Lace scifi-fantasy adventure", and "Rise of the Erlachi" are available in paperback and eBook. Read More Read Less
