A jittery digital whistleblower has only to survive a long-haul plane journey before the full extent of his explosive revelations can take effect. Can he make it? Tony Davis is based in Sydney. His books include The Big Dry (HarperCollins, 2013), a novel shortlisted in the 2014 NSW Premier’s Literary Awards; Roland Wright (a children’s series published in the US and Germany); Wide Open Road (ABC Books, 2011), the companion book to the ABC documentary; Total Lemons (ABC Books, 2012); and the literary memoir F. Scott, Ernest and Me (Bantam, 2007).
Tony Davis is widely blamed for LEMON! 60 HEROIC FAILURES OF MOTORING, an Australian bestseller that was published in US and UK editions – and which has been adapted into the hit book for kids, YOU MUST BE SKIDDING! He is also responsible for the eccentric literary memoir F. SCOTT, ERNEST AND ME, plus the new children’s series ROLAND WRIGHT, FUTURE KNIGHT.
Before courageously leaving a well-paid job to be a full-time author (at the end of 2005), Tony had a long and successful career in newspapers, magazines and publishing. He has worked at THE AUSTRALIAN and THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, has held senior editing and news roles, and has written extensively about popular culture, history, motoring, television and a myriad of other subjects.
Tony lives in northern Sydney with his wife Carolyn and their three sons, William, James and Daniel.
