Brief Biography

Lee Harding was born in Colac, Victoria, in 1937. He worked mainly as a freelance photographer before taking up full-time writing in 1978. He began his writing career in 1961 by publishing a number of short science fiction stories in British and American specialist science fiction magazines.

Harding is mainly known as a writer of books for "juveniles" with his most successful, Displaced Person, being awarded the Alan Marshall Award in 1978. He has been awarded the Ditmar Award, for Best Australian Science Fiction of the Year, twice: for "Dancing Gerontius" in 1970, and for "Fallen Spaceman" in 1972.

Although absent for a number of years, Harding made a welcome return to publishing in recent times with Heartsease in 1997. He currently lives in rural Victoria.
