About the Author

Brendan Ritchie is a writer and filmmaker from Fremantle, WA.

He grew up in the sleepy coastal town of Esperance where he surfed a little, did okay at English and bunkered down with books like The Outsiders and The Sword of Shannara.

After school he moved to Perth to study filmmaking at university. Here he made a series of films (some good, others not so good), and started discovering artists like Arthur Nersesian, the Coen Brothers and Arcade Fire.

Brendan’s debut YA novel Carousel has its origins in all of these things. It’s full of pop culture, fantasy and isolation and pays a sheepish homage to Haruki Murakami and all of his greatness.
