About the Author

Des Brady is an author from the Northern Beaches of Sydney where he has lived, loved, laughed and played for the past four decades. Born in London with Australian and Irish heritage, his father was a psychiatrist, and his mother, a nurse. Sydney has been his lifetime home.

He worked as an urban and social planner for more than thirty-five years. A Director in an international consulting practice, his responsibilities stretched across half the globe. Living a varied life, interspersed with extensive travels around this great country and the world, he has had stints as a labourer, postman, gardener, photographer, waiter, barman, yardsman, builder, renovator, mechanic, market researcher, teacher, librarian and writer. He currently volunteers with his local library after many years as a volunteer life saver.

As an avid observer, his experiences have fostered a deep appreciation of the multilayered nature of the humanity that inhabits our globe. From the remote mountains of Nepal to the bustle of Times Square, people and the places they inhabit remain an inspiration. As well as authoring numerous documents in his professional career, he has written on issues that affect us on an individual and collective scale, from housing to climate change. Knowing fiction need not necessarily be an artificial artefact, he approaches it with an eye to crafting compelling stories that grapple with the many environmental and social issues that face us today. This ‘Brave New World’ we all face.

Writing both long and short form, his stories explore numerous themes including the human condition, climate change and the environment, as well as fact-based fiction.  He also writes the occasional good yarn.
