After a career as a teacher and principal of mainly small rural schools, Ross Richdale lives in the small university city of Palmerston North in the North Island of New Zealand where he writes contemporary novels and sagas full time, while his wife, Kay, carries the burden of teaching children at a local primary (elementary) school. He is married with three children.
In his suburban home, Ross pounds away on an ancient Macintosh to form the plots for his novels. After his wife and daughter go off to work every morning, he shares his workspace with a black and white cat, who demands to be fed at least six times a day, and a goldfish called Survivor. The name comes from the fish”s ability to survive after having been dropped in a glass aquarium that was totally shattered and outlived her compatriots when poisoned water plants were inadvertently added to their bowl.
When he is not writing, Ross enjoys drawing, usually on the computer. Other interests include wandering in the countryside and, in the summer, swimming in mountain streams or bounding through the rapids in a large inner tube tire.
