Although born in Aldershot UK, A Bertram Chandler was usually thought of as an Australian author. He spent forty seven years at sea, with British tramp steamer, and finally with the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand, under which he held command (just like his most famous character from the Rim Worlds, John Grimes).
His first story was published in Astounding in 1944, and his first novel, The Rim of Space in 1961. During the long passages at sea, he wrote many novels, and continued writing from his retirement in 1975 until his death. I have no idea how many novels he eventually produced. I am certain I don't have them all.

I have a web page about A Bertram Chandler at
www.bertramchandler.com
which has a bibliography of both novels and short stories.
For your information I have begun to republish some of Chandler's biographical and fanzine work (with permission from Susan Chandler and her literary agents and John Bangsund). At the moment I only have an article from ALGOL and one from Australian Science Fiction Review, but I have a few more to add when time permits. These are published at http://www.bertramchandler.com/abchandlermore.html
