OWEN TREVOR SMITH
I now live on the Kapiti Coast of the North Island of beautiful New Zealand, but I have lived and worked in Australia, England, Germany and Switzerland. I share my home with two dogs (Harry and Jacko) and three guitars (not named). I’ve travelled throughout the world for extensive periods of time, and I’ve sailed the Atlantic from England to Brazil in my (part-owned) 41-foot ketch ‘Adastra’.
I like to explore different genres in my writing, so I have written poems (that rhyme!), westerns, science fiction, war, crime, adventure, and children’s stories.View all by Owen Trevor Smith
