Bill (Billy d) de Garis was born in England, grew up in New Zealand and spent several years travelling around the world. First on a 250cc Jawa motorbike from Sydney, Australia through India, Afghanistan and Iran to England; then an epic journey in an old Morris Isis shooting-brake (running mostly on bald tyres salvaged from rubbish dumps around London) together with two New Zealand friends on their honeymoon.
The journey started in London, went across the Sahara desert and darkest Africa and ended up in Kenya. He now lives in Port Moody, a city-suburb of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. He has been writing short stories and poetry since the late 1960's. He is better known as an off-road motorcycle competitor in East Africa (seven times Kenya motorcycle champion) but also raced on tarseal - in India and Sri Lanka he won several roadraces including the Air India Grand Prix in Bombay (now Mumbai). He is also the first person to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340ft) on a motorbike (250cc CZ). He now competes on a Vertigo Trials motorbike in the US National Trials Championship.
He has written the five novels in the 2020 series.
In book one of this series (2020 After the End) a meteor strike triggered a nuclear war and its parent meteorite passed so close to the earth and was so large it changed the earths tilt and precession. Now the year is two and a half times longer than before and the seasons are so long and so hot or cold they make life practically unlivable if you stay in one place.
Civilisation was destroyed.
A group of friends survived the first "ice age" winter in British Columbia in Canada by travelling on motorbikes to Baja, now they have to walk back to BC to escape the extreme heat of the northern summer.
