The Build Up

Phillip Gwynne was born in Melbourne, but his family (including seven siblings) soon moved to South Australia. In 1999, Phillip won the Victorian Premier's Literary award for Young Adult Fiction with his first YA novel, DEADLY, UNNA? Phillip has worked at a number of jobs including computer programming in Europe, teaching in Thailand and counting fish in Brazil. Approaching the age of forty, and having tried just about everything else, he decided to start writing.
