Guan Un
Guan lives in Sydney’s inner west with Mary, two kids and a red dog. He studied at Moore College in order to write books, which confused just about everybody. Now, he’s a programmer and a writer of fiction and books like this one, and happily spends a lot of time behind a keyboard. He gets excited about a well-told story, a well-turned sentence, and a well-baked custard tart.
