Phillip Kerrigan is an Australian author of Irish descent and he lives in Sydney, Australia. Phillips’ background is in senior management of a cosmetics company and proprietor of his own Apple computer business and Small to Medium Business Consultancy.
His company won three Reseller awards with Apple in Australia and attended Apple Inc conferences and many Mac World Expos in San Francisco. He sold his Reseller business to a US based Catalogue reseller. He then moved into consultancy work assisting small to medium businesses to utilise personal computers effectively in their business operations.
An abiding interest in world affairs, politics generally and how our planet worked had him write “The Runout Response” (published by Greenhouse Publications) a geopolitical thriller based on diminishing oil resources for the planet. This was followed by “The Russian Major” (initially published by Penguin, now on Amazon Kindle) an insightful account of what a Russian officer endures as the commander of a nuclear missile silo during the Cold War.
More recently “Where There’s a Will” (Amazon Kindle) tells the story of how a successful insurance company swindle in the USA inadvertently involves an ordinary Aussie bloke and an inheritance of $200 million.
“Treaty or Treason” fictionalises the involvement of his father and other family members in the turbulent era of Ireland’s War of Independence and Civil War and their aftermath in the early 1920’s.
Now retired Phillip’s writing is a late life pastime which he enjoys and is researching a sequel to “Treaty or Treason”. He is married, has two adult sons and two gorgeous granddaughters. He is extensively travelled (prior to 2020!), plays golf, reading mostly nonfiction, mild exercise and the occasional punt on horse racing and sport generally.
