Stuart is a history teacher in a private high school in Sydney. Inspired by the works of Dumas, Reverte and Matthew Reilly, and drawing upon his knowledge of the English Civil War and the Thirty Years War, he has long considered writing an action-packed adventure series set in the 17th century. His biggest fan - and critic - is his five-year-old daughter, who can often be found sitting on his lap in his study as he types away on his next novel. THE SCOURGE OF JERICHO is his first book, and he is currently finishing Volume Two in The Witch Hunter Chronicles.
"""A great read, laden with cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, double agents and twists and miraculous escapes from certain death . . . . Recommended."" --Fiction Focus ""Daly's novel mixes the swashbuckling heroism of The Three Musketeers with the agreeable idiocy of one of Reilly's adrenaline pumpers. Daly and Reilly write books that aren't meant to be critically dissected: they're built to entertain, and they do that with gleeful gusto."" --Courier Mail ""This is Dumas on steroids . . . . Once this book takes off it never lets the reader go, with witches, demons and spies."" --Daily Telegraph ""Three Musketeers-meets-Matthew-Reilly with a touch of Indiana Jones."" --January Magazine"
