Neil Cladingboel
Born in the United Kingdom in 1959, Neil Charles Cladingboel moved to Australia with his family in 1961, spending his early years in Woomera, the heart of the Australian Outback, before settling in Melbourne where he completed his schooling.
After an extensive background in Catering and Hospitality, which took him around the country, Neil embarked on a new career in Real Estate and Land Marketing. Having dabbled with creative writing and contemporary poetry for many years, publishing Reflections: Book One of The Erebus Equilibrium trilogy, in November 2000, was the realization of a life-long dream.
Neil has since published The Anvil Amulet and Wraith Tide, books two and three of the Erebus series, Tale Spin, a collection of short fiction, and the short stories, Death Mask, Weatherwood, Ghost of Elysium and Anomaly. A reprinted omnibus edition of the trilogy is also available.
Neil currently resides in Mandurah, Western Australia with his wife, Thea. His latest project is Bortag's Curse, a sequel to The Erebus Equilibrium series. A fourth book in the series, Beloved Sons, is currently in concept stage.
Neil is the founder of Equilibrium Books, the editor of FlashSpec Anthology, and has also contributed stories, articles and reviews to numerous web sites and e-zines.
