Justin Woolley is an Australian author known for his contributions to dystopian fiction, science fiction, and speculative genres. He gained recognition for "The Territory Series," a dystopian trilogy set in Australia, which includes "A Town Called Dust," "A City Called Smoke," and "A World of Ash." His other notable works include the young-adult science fiction novel "We Are Omega" and the comedic science-fiction series "Shakedowners," comprising "Shakedowners," "Shakedowners 2: The Vinyl Frontier," and "Shakedowners 3: Slack to the Future." Woolley has also expanded his writing into the Warhammer 40,000 universe through collaborations with Black Library.
Woolley's writing spans multiple genres, often blending adventure, humor, and dark themes. His early passion for storytelling emerged in childhood, culminating in his first handwritten book, "The Ghost Ship," at age six. Beyond writing, he has worked as an engineer, teacher, and even a magician, experiences that enrich his creative perspective.
Residing in Hobart with his wife and two sons, Woolley continues to explore new narratives while maintaining a distinctive voice across his published works. His ability to craft engaging, genre-defying stories has solidified his reputation in speculative fiction.
