Everything about Julian Stockwin totally explained
Julian Stockwin (born in
1944 in
Basingstoke, Hampshire, England) is an author of naval historical fiction.
Biography
Born in 1944, Stockwin soon developed a love for the sea. Having an uncle,
Tom Clay, who was a seaman in square-rigged ships and had sailed around
Cape Horn in the
Cutty Sark, the sea was in his blood.
After grammar school, his father sent him to sea-training school at
Indefatigable at age 14. He joined the
Royal Navy at 15 and transferred to the
Royal Australian Navy when his family emigrated. Stockwin served eight years, and was eventually rated petty officer.
Stockwin attended the
University of Tasmania to read
Far Eastern studies and
psychology. He did post-graduate work in
cross-cultural psychology. He got involved in the manufacture and design of computers and
software development. Returning to the navy and the
Royal Navy Reserve, Stockwin was honoured with an
MBE and retired as Lt Commander.
He returned to the
United Kingdom in 1990 and started to write in 1996. Naturally the subject was the sea.
