Aaron grew up in Australia and then moved overseas precisely one day after he graduated from University. His first degree was in Engineering which initially led him into the oil industry. He bolstered his credentials with an MBA and then completed a series of CEO roles in oil companies and private equity.

So far Aaron has lived in 13 different countries and has visited 61 in total. Still unsatisfied with the diversity of his experience, Aaron seems determined to break the 100-country barrier pretty much as soon as physically possible.

Aaron loves reading, writing, cooking, driving, weight lifting, eating, snow skiing, travelling (surprise!), and terrorising vegans.

“It'll end in tears and they won't be mine.”
Aaron D'Este, Weapon of Choice

“Rotten, dirty, back-slapping, wine-quaffing, haemorrhoid-hosting, goat-shagging, fart-sniffing, Crispin-loving, gold-snatching bastards!!!”
Aaron D'Este, Weapon of Choice

“It wasn’t like that at all!” argued the Sleuth, looking around for support. “It was a heroic, selfless act of spectacular bravery! I should be worshipped like a god! Immortalised in song!” He struck a dramatic pose, “One man, alone and outnumbered, sacrificed himself for the greater good…”

“Immortalised in song, eh?” chuckled Mick. “How about ‘ridiculed in nursery rhymes’?”

“I see,” acknowledged Axel. “But it’s not really your hunting trophy anyway, is it? I mean one that you collected yourself... Unless it died of old age, that is, right at your feet.”

“A real Deadly Dolly,” sniggered Mick. And then, “Ouch!” when she whacked him.”

“The thing I can’t figure out,” Axel turned to gaze directly at the gorgeous Elf. “Is how we got drawn into this mess? A week ago we were just boys, bumbling about in our last year of study, and now we’re in the midst of events that will change the course of Alba’s future! How did that happen?” He tossed his hands in the air and shook his head. “These are our parents’ battles. This is our parents’ world. They’re supposed to hand over something valuable and precious, not suck us into a scarred and shattered wreck!”

Carolyn struggled to maintain her composure. She bit her bottom lip until it quivered in pain. “I don’t know how it happened,” she whispered, shaking her head, feeling guilty and tortured and evil and awful. “It’s not fair though.”

“Well, we’re in the game now,” said Axel, as he stared down at the deadly black blade. “And heaven help all those who stand in our way.”
Aaron D'Este, Weapon of Choice

“In an ideal world, he’d simply scrape the surface of his bottomless courage, carelessly slip off his horse, scratch his massive balls, and then stroll over to the Lair in his own good time. But this wasn’t an ideal world, Rawley’s courage reservoir was barely a puddle, and at that particular moment he had precious little below the belt worth scratching!”
Aaron D'Este, Weapon of Choice
