Brett Austin

Hi
I'm Brett and I live in the Far North, more specifically, the Hokianga.
I had no writing experience until I picked up the pen at about age 69 to see if I could write someing vaguely creative.
I doodled away, with help from NZSA Startwrite, and produced a 100,000 word MS that I never published.
In 2024 I self-published The Danger Within, a political thriller set in Wellington. I ran into problems with Amazon's uncooperative behaviour towards Draft2digital. The short version of the story is that I withdrew the novel and have now published it on Amazon only.
And now, 2026, I have written Flood Zone, a climate change thriller set in the Coromandel.
