Ninja,
Here's a link to an Australian guy who has a few books published.
Hal Spacejock - Articles
I suggest you take a look around his site if you want to learn more about him. It's much better that you do that instead of me telling you about him since it'll save both of us time.
Consider this a pre-filtered resource from me that, while it may not be revolutionary, is at least worthy of consideration on your writing quest.
He has some pretty nice software resources available (for free), too.
