sjbrown is the pen-name of Hobart author, Stephen Brown. His novels are set in his home state of Tasmania: a locale he seeks to explore thoroughly via the Detective Inspector Mahoney series of police procedural investigations.
When not writing the latest instalment in the series he is to be found tour-guiding overseas visitors around the state: a welcome vocational change after many years in the classroom!
A long-term fan of the crime fiction genre his reading preferences are works by Peter Robinson, Ian Rankin and James Lee Burke. Naturally, his aim is to create narratives that resound with readers to the same extent as his role models.
His work will appeal to readers seeking distinctive settings, intriguing characterisation, and narratives that reflect the complex nature of detective work.
