About the author
S.J. Thiessen
I live in Hobart, Tasmania with my wife, Jane, and have four children. My life is too busy for writing. Apart from all the damn kids, I’m an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, learning facilitator, workplace culture consultant, mediator and podcaster.<br><br>But I write anyway, because I love mysteries and adventure. I thrive on working with words and can do it while sitting down. And it's cathartic, a form of therapy, and a way to say all those things I'm really thinking. My stories are overlaid with themes I am passionate about: Tasmania, dyslexia, triathlon, inclusiveness and equity, and healthy doses of irreverence and anti-establishmentarianism.<br><br>Like DI Terry Stratton, I am an ageing but enthusiastic triathlete and have represented Australia twelve times in age group world championships in Beijing, Auckland, Chicago, Cozumel (Mexico), Adelaide and Montreal.<br><br>My favourite authors include Ian Rankin (love the way he brings Edinburgh to life), Sue Grafton (great mysteries) and Reginald Hill (colourful characters and clever plots). I hope the influence of each is apparent in my writing.<br><br><strong>Detective Inspector Stratton series reading order</strong><br>1. Crossing the Patriline<br>2. Aether<br>3. Degrees of Retribution<br><br><br>
