OWEN TREVOR SMITH (known as Trevor)

I now live on the Kapiti Coast of the North Island of beautiful New Zealand but I have lived and worked for several years in Australia, England, Germany and Switzerland.

I grew up in the small seaside village of Paekakariki, only 10km from where I now live, and graduated with degrees in Psychology and Education from Victoria University of Wellington.

I share my home with two dogs (Harry and Jacko) and three guitars (not named). I’ve had my share of adventure. Three times I’ve taken a year off and travelled through different parts of the world and I’ve sailed the Atlantic from England to Brazil in my 41-foot ketch ‘Adastra’.

I have written novels, poems (that rhyme!), short fiction in diverse genres, children’s stories, and a two-act play (which has been performed 🙂 ).

A collection of my short stories Seven Roads to Travel was published in 2015 and an epic poem The Day Bonny Blue Raced for the Cup was also published in 2015.

My first novel, LINDISFARNE: Fury of the Northmen was published in 2018, the first in the Feran Chronicles series.

The Pharaoh of Venice (published 2019) is my second novel and the first book in the Tales of a Minor God series.

WESTERLING: Prince of Wessex, the second in the Feran Chronicles series was published in August 2023.
