Biography
After graduating from Sydney's St Aloysius' College[2] in 1992,[3] Reilly studied Law at the University of New South Wales,[4] where he was also a contributor to the student law society publication "Poetic Justice".[citation needed] Reilly wrote his first book Contest while just 19 and self-published it in 1996.[1] It was rejected by every major publishing company in Sydney, leading Reilly to self-publish 1,000 copies using money borrowed from his family. Reilly's second book, Ice Station was also written whilst a student at the University of NSW.[5]
Reilly owns several movie prop reproductions including a life-size statue of Han Solo frozen in carbonite (Star Wars), a golden idol (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and a working DeLorean DMC-12 (Back to the Future).[1] A big fan of hollywood blockbusters, Reilly hopes to direct one of his own books as movies some day.
