Dan Shepherd grew up as the son of a lighthouse keeper, spending

his childhood in remote New Zealand outposts. He trained

as a fitter and turner, served in the Navy, and later ran his own

marine engineering business. Dan and his wife Joan went on to

build an ocean-going steel yacht, a venture that carried them to

work on Thursday Island and farther afield. Returning to Australia,

they joined the ranks of the grey nomads, exploring the remote

reaches of the outback. Now retired in Queensland, Dan is finally

putting a lifetime of adventure into print.
