Scot Gardner became a writer after a chance meeting with a magazine editor while hitchhiking in eastern Australia. Magazine articles led to op-ed newspaper pieces and eventually novels. Scot's first fiction for young adults, <i>One Dead Seagull</i>, was published after he attended a writing conference with John Marsden.<br><br>More than a decade later, his many books have found local and international favour and garnered praise and awards for their honest take on adolescent life. They include books like <i>White Ute Dreaming, Burning Eddy</i> and most recently <i>Changing Gear</i>, shortlisted for the CBCA Book of the Year Awards; <i>Happy as Larry</i>, winner of a WA Premier's Book Award for young adult fiction; and <i>The Dead I Know</i>, winner of the CBCA Book of the Year Award for Older Readers.<br><br>Scot lives with his wife in a vegetable garden in country Victoria.
