Ian is an Engineer living and working in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia with his wife (who is sure he is an alien), two sons and two Tonkinese cats. He has been an electrician, an engineer, a small business owner and an adult leader in the Scouting movement. With very eclectic tastes in reading and music, Ian enjoys books by several of the independent authors on Amazon as well as quite a few who are more mainstream. He has been reading sci-fi since he can remember, starting with the old John Carter series by Edgar Rice Burroughs when still in school, then proceeding to Asimov, Heinlein, and others. Ian also enjoys old movies of several genres. Ian has had stories rattling around his head for many years, and a broken leg in April 2016 finally gave him the time to sit back and begin putting some of them down on paper. Ian Roberts is writing the Star Man Series now, but will pause on this series when the fourth book is completed with luck in about February 2018. He then plans a new series of standalone books, each of which will hold a challenge for its readers. Again, with luck, the first of these new books will be released about August 2018.
