C. S. Boag
is a former columnist and feature writer. He is a winner of the Walter Stone Memorial Prize for Literature. In the Mister Rainbow series the Hood with No Hands, Death of a Ladies’ Man, Horses for Corpses and Bullets at the Ballet have already been released by Xoum publishers, with The Cock Robin Killer to be released later this year.
A well-traveled man, he says he has renovated too many houses, driven too many taxis and bulldozers. He was a councillor on the Sydney City Council for what he calls a “chilling couple of years”; and has also worked in a hamburger bar, taught English, laboured and performed other tasks “too arduous to mention”. He has five children and now lives with his wife Judith on a small holding near Bathurst.
