Novelist Cross About N.Z
Novelist Cross About N.Z.
Ian Cross is the present and first holder of the Burns Fellowship at O.U. Author of "God Boy," he has been chief reporter on the Dominion and defunct Southern Cross. He has tried his hand at gun running while working for a newspaper in Panama, and the lack of excitement after this possibly accounted for him becoming public relations officer for the N.Z. police before taking the Fellowship. The idea of writing fiction came to him while studying in the U.S. on a Nieman Fellowship. He has another book in the hands of his publishers at the moment, and 'God Boy" is being adapted for theatre, television and film.
