Born in Dorking Surrey, England, Anthony R Merrydew, was educated at the Andrew Cairns boy’s school, and several colleges in West Sussex.
He wrote his first manuscript ‘Malakoff’, during the early seventies, when he lived and worked in Besancon, France. For reasons best known to him, this remains to this day a work in progress.
His first published work, ‘Our Blue Orange’, was a sci-fi story, which revolved around his fascination for automation, and the world of data. The novel took eight years to complete in his spare time.
The second novel in the series, ‘The Girl with the Porcelain Lips’, was published October 20th, 2023, and has been well received.
The third novel in the Science Fiction series, as yet untitled, is planned for publication later in 2024.
Anthony has also published a compilation of his poetry, ‘From the Pen of an Aquarian’ in 2023. An audio version of his books are available from Audible.com.
Anthony currently lives, and travels in his motor home named ‘Vera’, nearly full time, promoting his writing, poetry and AI Artwork on social media platforms.
