A terrifying storm lashed Sydney’s North Shore on a June night in 1975. It swamped boats, and jetties smashed in what some claim was the worst storm to hit the coast for four decades.

 

In the midst of the chaos, Luke Romyn’s parents battled to get to a hospital to birth their baby boy. Normally their idyllic island cottage was a near-paradise, but on this night, the journey to the mainland in their tiny boat seemed like a passage through Hell. Their son was born near midnight, but part of the storm never left him.

 

When Luke reached fifteen years of age, his father was killed while working in Fiji, leaving Luke and his mother alone. At times, the only things to get Luke through his grief were the stories playing out in his head, endless fantastical tales of distant and near lands, with characters who would protect him from any tragedy.

 

At eighteen, Luke began working in nightclubs as a bouncer. For over two decades, Luke worked in the security industry, from bouncing in some of Australia's roughest pubs and nightclubs to protecting Mickey Mouse and the Disney crew from the overzealous jaws of tenacious toddlers. He's been a bodyguard for celebrities internationally and chased feral pigs and snakes from jungle sets on Steven Spielberg productions. Luke has traveled the globe and spent time in some of the most amazing locations the world has to offer.

 

This experience fuels the Australian writer’s ever-expansive imagination, and he pours it into his novels, combining fact with fiction, history with fantasy, delivering engrossing action-thrillers which leave fans gasping for more. Luke’s quick wit has seen his social media following explode, and he is currently one of the most prolific social media celebrities in Australia, with several hundred thousand followers across the internet.

 

Luke Romyn has gone on to become a USA Today bestselling author and is now one of the most popular indie authors in the ever-growing ebook market. He personally completes everything from cover art to final formatting, working tirelessly with editors to refine the best stories possible for his readers. The results are international bestsellers you're certain to love diving into. Over six hundred thousand readers can't be wrong.
