A. Bedford, is an Australian writer of science fiction. BiographyBedford was born in Fremantle, Australia. In 2003 Bedford's first novel, Orbital Burn,[1] was released in Canada by Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing. He has since published five more novels. Eclipse[2] and Time Machines Repaired While-U-Wait[3] both won the Aurealis Award for best science fiction novel in 2005 and 2008 respectively, while Orbital Burn and Hydrogen Steel[4] both received short-list nominations in the same category.[5] Time Machines Repaired While-U-Wait was also a shortlist nominee for the 2008 Philip K. Dick Award.[6] It was later released by an Australian publisher, Fremantle Press, in 2009[7] and featured a different cover. Paradox Resolution,[8] the sequel to Time Machines Repaired While-U-Wait, was released in 2012 and continues the adventures of Aloysius "Spider" Webb. Bedford is well known for both his humor as well as the detective and mystery elements in his novels. On writing, Bedford is quoted as saying; "I have instructed my wife that if I ever pronounce that I have mastered writing, she is to hit me hard with a squid. I now live in fear of the squid."[9] Bibliography
