Alan Moore

Alan Moore is the younger son of a Methodist minister who started his working life as a missionary in southern Africa. Alan owes much of his interest in fictional writing to his mother who encouraged imaginative writing early in his life. He completed his early education in South Africa before marrying Rosemary in 1965 and within a month the couple migrated to Australia. He completed a PhD in geology while teaching at Adelaide University. He worked as a geologist, both at universities and in industry. He has published widely in international scientific journals but this is his first published work of fiction. For eight years he worked as a resource analyst for an investment bank prior to retiring to write. He and his wife are immensely proud of their two surviving daughters and four grandchildren.
