Chris Pearce

Chris Pearce was born in Surrey, UK in 1952, and grew up in Melbourne, Australia. He worked as a public servant (federal and state) for 25 years and in the real world for 12.5 years. His inspiration for writing "A Weaver's Web" was a postgraduate creative writing course he topped from 30 students in the mid 1990s. After targeting many literary agents, including one who compared his manuscript to John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath", he decided to publish it as an ebook. He also has a non-fiction book (print only), "Through the Eyes of Thomas Pamphlett: Convict and Castaway", which he plans to rework and publish as an ebook later in 2014.
