Troy Henderson is a fiction writer from Brisbane, Australia, where he has lived his whole life aside from a two-year stint in London. Troy’s twenties and early thirties were spent avoiding adult responsibilities, playing in bands and immersing himself in music. He turned to novel writing seriously in his mid-thirties. His first book, Head Grenade, was shortlisted in the Hawkeye Publishing Manuscript Development Prize and the Queensland Writers Centre’s Adaptable and Publishable Programs, respectively. His short stories have longlisted in the Australian Writers’ Centre Furious Fiction competition, and placed in the Genrecon Short Story competition, and FLEUR Flash Fiction Contest. Head Grenade is the first novel of a Brisbane trilogy, featuring different characters and situations but all set in the same city and fictional universe. The second book is a dark humour crime novel, River City, and third book is a suburban drama, Rocket Surgery. He will continue his lifelong journey of record and book collecting.
