Ralph Hurne was born and raised in England. During the course of his life he has lived in 'almost every corner of the Commonwealth and beyond, employed in all stages of the literary environment, from librarian to copy writer and from editor to feature writer'. Hurne finally settled in Albany, Western Australia, where he has pursued his hobbies of cycling, sailing and collecting historic firearms.
