Abstract
Venero Armanno was born in Brisbane in 1959 to Sicilian migrants. After studying both law and psychology at the University of Queensland, he worked in a computer company for ten years. In 1990 he was accepted into the Australian Film and Television School to study screenwriting and his first book, a collection of short stories entitled Jumping at the Moon, was published in 1992. Since then, Armanno has published six novels for the adult market: The Lonely
Hunter (1993), Romeo of the Underworld (1994), My Beautiful Friend (1995), Strange Rain (1996), Firehead (1999) and The Volcano 2001), as well as three illustrated books for younger readers. Armanno has been working as a lecturer in creative writing at the University of Queensland since 2001.
