Geoffrey McSkimming was born on 1 January 1962 in Sydney, NSW, Australia.
To research his books, he has travelled to Egypt, Peru, Tanzania (including Zanzibar) Greece, Mexico, Turkey, Italy, Singapore and other locations. He is much in demand for author talks, and makes many appearances in character as his alter ego ‘Cairo Jim'.
In addition to the Cairo Jim series and Ogre in a Toga, Geoffrey McSkimming has contributed to magazines and poetry anthologies and has written four successful and popular character tours which take place regularly through the galleries at the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney. He also narrates the ‘Cairo Jim Chronicles' on CD and tape for Bolinda Publishing.
When not travelling to research his books, McSkimming lives a reclusive life in Sydney.
