From Amazon.com:
Grant E Brazell was born in Sydney Australia in 1966 to parents of English heritage. He has been a Fantasy buff for decades and spend most of my life wide awake in dreamland. He currently lives in Rooty Hill, Australia, with his wife, one son and two cats.

He's had many influences in his writing. His early love of fantasy and indeed reading came when he was still at school and picked up The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. From there he read fantasy voraciously. Authors such as David Eddings, Margaret Weis to name a few enthralled him. Between readings he dreamed of my own adventures and the desire to write was firmly implanted.
