Gerard O'Neill is a novelist living with his family in Sydney, Australia, but originally hails from the deep south of New Zealand. He worked too long in the suffocating confines of the academy, which explains his need to escape to the great outdoors as often as possible. He speaks English reasonably well, and Japanese, but the last is still a work in progress. He also enjoys Kendo.

He likes to pick up a good book, particularly if it's science fiction. He enjoys a wide range of books, including non-fiction, and likes to keep up with the latest developments in science and technology. He also reads history, and currently almost anything about the Russian revolution will grab his attention. You can contact him through his website.
