Kevin RadleyAfter studying science at University, Kevin Radley worked in several laboring jobs, both in the city and on farms in the bush. While navigating his Kombi van around Australia in the early 1980's, working and writing along the way, he collided with a ull near the border between the Northern Territory and Western Australia. He was able to reassemble the front end of his smashed vehicle and limp his way into the Kimberly town of Broome, where he spent the dry season working in one of the two pubs in town. It was there that he wrote about the characters he encountered in a collection of short stories. When he returned to Sydney at the end of 1984, Kevin used samples of his stories in a successful application to join the team of story-liners for a new television series, 'Neighbours'. He worked in this capacity until the program was cut by Channel Seven and picked up by Channel Ten. Whilst maintaining an interest in writing, he threw himself wholeheartedly into a teaching career, nurturing a passion for delivering creative science lessons to his students. He taught in schools of Western Sydney for more than 30 years. On the home front, Kevin and his wife, Julianne, blended their families from previous marriages, for an eventful life in the Blue Mountains. During the final two years of teaching in the region, he wrote his first novel, 'The Teacher's Secrets'. In 2019, he moved with his wife to the mid-north coast of New South Wales, where he taught on a casual basis for a year while writing his second novel 'Thundersong'. Kevin retired from teaching in 2021 to focus on writing his third novel, 'Rabbit Town.' Read More Read Less
