David Kilner

I've been an avid reader (and watcher) of crime fiction since I was a teenager many years ago. I especially love the British school of crime writing and its exploration of the ‘why’ rather than just the ‘who’. My writing heroes include PD James, Ian Rankin, Elizabeth George and Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine. The Climate Change Murders is my first foray into writing a crime novel. I spent most of my working life writing social policy for government and non-government organisations and helping to develop social welfare services. In my retirement I’m still actively involved in social welfare as a volunteer and I've developed a passion for local history. I’m the author of several works of local history. In the 1980s I wrote a doctoral thesis on housing policy and published this in 2005. Another of my interests is heritage buildings. My wife have travelled extensively within South Australia photographing and researching fine old buildings. You can see the results on our website.
I’m married and have two adult daughters.
