Phillip Berrie

Phill Berrie lives in Yass, Australia with this wife, stepson and Sookie the cat.

He has a Bachelors degree in Applied Physics, a Masters in Information Science and a Graduate Diploma in Education. He has worked in the back rooms of education-related institutions for most of his life as an IT professional helping academics with the computational aspects of their professions. This includes such diverse activities: as analysing the mineral potential of rock samples, authenticating and distributing electronic editions of famous Australian literature, and most recently, helping science teachers teach science.

Phill is a futurist and has had a lifelong love affair with science, speculative fiction and role playing. His love of roleplaying led him to start writing and his attention to detail helped him fall into editing. He is on the downhill run of his first century and has decided he wants to be a writer when he grows up.
