Alan Tucker has spent half of his 60 years as a city dweller and half in rural surroundings. He juggled life as both a teacher and writer for 20 years but has now retired from teaching to devote himself to full-time writing. He has a small backyard shed-studio but does much of his research and writing in public libraries, Australia’s secret treasures.
Alan’s other titles include My Australian Story: Atomic Testing, My Australian Story: The Bombing of Darwin, My Australian Story: Cyclone Tracy, Iron in the Blood and Battlefield.
