| Gary Crew was born in Brisbane, Queensland on 23 September 1947. An illness during childhood kept him home from school but enabled him to develop an interest in reading adventure stories. | |||
| Crew first trained as a design draftsman and he worked in this field for ten years. When he decided to become a teacher, his family responsibilities prevented him from accepting an art scholarship and he trained as an English teacher instead. While teaching he also gained a Master of Arts in Literature from Queensland University. | |||
| Crew was prompted to begin writing in order to provide relevant reading material for his school students. In 1985 he published his first novel, The Inner Circle, and by 1989 he had left teaching to write full time. Since then he has written numerous books and won many awards. He has specialised in the areas of Teenage Fiction, Young Adult Fiction and Children’s Picture Books. | |||
