Gary David Crew (born 23 September 1947) is an Australian writer of young adult fiction. ==Life== Gary Crew was born in Brisbane, Queensland on 23 September 1947. An illness during childhood kept him home from school but enabled him to develop an interest in reading adventure stories. Crew first trained as a design draftsman and he worked in this field for ten years. When he decided to become a teacher, his family responsibilities prevented him from accepting an art scholarship and he trained as an English teacher instead.

In 1986 he published his first novel, The Inner Circle, and by 1989 he had left teaching to write full time. Since then he has written numerous books and won many awards. He has specialised in the areas of Teenage Fiction, Young Adult Fiction and Children’s Picture Books. Crew and his wife Christine have three children, Rachel, Sarah and Joel.
