Rex is English, but was born in Java, Indonesia and has spent many years in the Far East. He speaks Indonesian and Malay. He has had an interesting life - as a youngster worked his passage on a container ship to Australia where he worked as a cowboy, gold-miner, door-to-door salesman and fruit-picker, before switching from Zoology to the Army to study at Sandhurst. He saw active service in Northern Ireland and was Logistics Officer for Operation Drake in Indonesia. A country manager for an international tobacco trader at 25, he spent two years during the Cold War with MI6 before returning to the UK where he and his wife raised his two sons while working in marketing and publishing, with forays into NLP, charity conservation work and personal development. Now they are adult, he and his wife have moved back to the Far East where he travels, writes and researches from his base in Ubud, Bali. He has always had a passion for writing and this was rekindled by telling stories he made up on the spot to his sons. His hobbies are angling, reptiles, orchids, reading and hockey, though he fears that in his late 50's he is now a little old to keep playing the latter. His wide experience and knowledge are interwoven into the tapestry of his writing. If you have any questions for Rex, please feel free to use his Facebook page. https: //www.facebook.com/harrhein
