PJ McDermott grew up in Scotland. As a schoolboy he read Science Fiction books and magazines day and night reveling in the genius of Asimov, Herbert, Niven, Moorcock and Le Guin. These days, he enjoys the fantasy novels of Robin Hobb, George Martin and the modern SF writers, Vaughn Heppner and Alex Weir. The author has published the Sci-fi/Fantasy books, The Alien Corps (also in audiobook format), Rise of the Erlachi, The Scarf and most recently book 4 in the series, Fractured Prophecy. Prosperine is a compilation volume of the first three books plus a lot of other bits and pieces of interest to fans. All are available as e-books or in print and The Alien Corps and Rise of the Erlachi also in audio. PJ also published the highly acclaimed semi-biographical novel, Small Fish Big Fish, now republished as Caught in the Long Grass. The author lives in Australia with his wife, Sue, two daughters and three grandchildren, Mia, Ryder Patrick, and Ethan. Visit him at his website: www.pj-mcdermott.com
