edit data

Ged Gillmore completed degrees in languages and literature at the University of London. Fancying a change to sunnier climes, Ged made the leap to Sydney in early 2004.

When he's not falling off his surfboard at Bondi or dabbling with a day job which pays the bills he sits at his laptop and bashes out fiction.

In October 2017, Ged launched his 'Bill Murdoch Mystery' series, beginning with HEADLAND, and followed by sequels, CLASS ACT (Jan 2018), and BASE NATURE (Mar 2018). The series is set in Sydney and a small town on the NSW Central Coast. in 2018 CLASS ACT was nominated for a Ned Kelly Award (Australia's oldest and most prestigious crime fiction prize).

In 2022 Ged releases his first standalone international thriller, THE LIGHTNING ROD.

Quotes by Ged Gillmore (?)

“rid of the rugby balls which Ginger had turned the Burringos into. Initially, Major took them to a local rugby club, but after a while he got a phone call saying he had to pick them up again. ‘They keep saying, “OUCH!” every time we kick them,’ said the club captain. ‘It’s most off-putting.”
― Ged Gillmore, Cats On The Run

“This time Janice grabbed him and gave him a smack on his haunch with the palm of her hand. Ouch! Can you imagine how painful it is for a cat to be hit by something as big as a witch? That would be like a huge giant slapping you across the ribs with a hand as big as a car. Ouch, ow, ow.”
― Ged Gillmore, Cats On The Run

“Have you ever seen a blizzard? It’s like the heaviest windstorm you’ll ever see combined with the heaviest snow you’ll ever see. A snowstorm, you could call it. In fact, you could probably replace the word ‘blizzard’ with the word ‘snowstorm’ in most situations and no one would ever notice. Unless, of course, you’re playing Scrabble, in which case I want to know where the second ‘Z’ came from in the first place.”
― Ged Gillmore, Cats Undercover
