The pen name I write my fiction thrillers under is Owen Fredrickson, and I am a New Zealand author who writes to free the reader from the real world to vicariously enjoy someone else's life for a while. My stories are fast-paced and based on contemporary reality, with the simple premise that if this happens, what happens next? Although misdirections and surprises have been added to keep the reader from getting too comfortable guessing what will happen. The cover pictures of my books are all from around this beautiful country. I have written for over twenty-five years, but only seriously since 2021. And finally, No people or animals were hurt in creating these books, although much coffee was consumed.
