Bios
Simon Tull is a software sorcerer by day and a couch potato by night. By the cold light of morning, he transforms coffee grounds into fun stories. On the rare occasions he’s able to do something other than sling code or sweat words, he fancies himself as a yoga student, basketballer, runner, cook, and fussy cat companion. Like many science fiction and fantasy authors, Simon was inspired to write his own stories after vicariously experiencing the exploits of Rand al'Thor, Druss the Legend, Murderbot, and, of course, Arthur Dent. He lives on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, Australia with his wife and two cats.
