Stephen Brown resides in Hobart where the DI Mahoney series is set. When not writing he walks his Border collie, makes plans to play more golf, and endeavours to contribute to family life. The intention of his fiction is to enable readers to explore Tasmania in its various guises and to investigate the harsher realities of modern life.
