About
Ian Copsey

British by birth and an avid young reader, Ian Copsey had early aspirations as an author but realised the need to support a family. He has spent 27 years living in Asia - Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, where he now lives. Finally, Ian found time to write his first novel, The Game Master, formulated by his interests in how children learn to perceive the world around them. What makes us so different? Why do we think differently? How or what, when we are growing up from being a baby to an adult, shapes our ideas, thoughts and ways of doing things? There are many reasons. Some are positive and some are not. The Game Master explores just some of these issues within its storyline. Based on the area where he lived as a child, his school and his family's enjoyment of humour, he chose a Japanese Game Master for the central mysterious, but jovially impish shopkeeper. It is a book that will amuse and entertain young readers but also provide some insight to the world around them.
