More About the Author

ROYSTON ELLIS is a British-born author of some 50 published books who has lived in Sri Lanka since 1980 where he writes in a century-old cottage overlooking the Indian Ocean. His first book, a sequence of poems called Jiving To Gyp, was published by Scorpion Press in 1959, when he was 18. Until 1961 he performed his poems on stage and TV to rock music (Rocketry) backed by The Shadows, Jimmy Page and a group that later became famous as The Beatles (whom he named). After living in the Channel Islands and the Canary Islands he moved to Dominica in 1966 where, as Richard Tresillian, he wrote the best-selling Bondmaster series of historical novels. He specialises now in books with Indian Ocean settings, including the Bradt guides to Mauritius, Maldives and Sri Lanka. (www.roystonellis.com)
