Meet Ged Gillmore – Australian crime fiction author

Ged grew up in the Midlands of England before moving to London where he completed degrees in languages and literature at the University of London. After graduating, Ged worked in France, Germany and Italy before returning to London for eighteen years. Fancying a change to sunnier climes, Ged made the leap to Sydney in early 2004. These days he spends his time between Australia, Ireland and the UK.

In October 2017, Ged launched HEADLAND, the first book in the new ‘Bill Murdoch Mystery’ series. HEADLAND follows the hard-boiled adventures of Bill Murdoch, an English bad boy struggling to adapt to a new life in Australia who finds himself thrust into the role of ‘the world’s most reluctant private investigator’. The sequels, CLASS ACT, and BASE NATURE, were launched in quick succession, in January and March 2018, respectively. (For any crime fiction lovers who enjoy very short crime fiction stories, Ged has also released a Murdoch mystery prequel, The Woman In The Title).

In July 2018, CLASS ACT was long listed for the Ned Kelly Awards ‘Best Crime Novel 2018‘, Australia’s most prestigious crime novel prize.

Ged has studied at the Australian Writers’ Centre and the Writers’ Studio, both based in Sydney.
