Stephen Crabbe

Stephen Crabbe was born in Adelaide, South Australia. His ancestors were among the earliest colonists, arriving from Scotland in 1839.

His twin passions from the earliest years were music and language in all its forms. He studied classical pianoforte from the age of five until his late teens. He read widely in English and loved to explore other languages. He also played many different sports.

Eventually Stephen took up education as a profession, which took him into both public and private schools in several different roles. Eventually he chose to be a music educator, a vocation he followed for decades.

Writing was always a compulsion for Stephen, but in later years it drew more attention. Screen productions used his scripts and many of his articles were published online and in print. The main focus of his writing now is fiction, especially the historical kind.

Stephen now lives in Western Australia.
