Ryder was married with six children, and lived with his family, but also maintained a relationship with Greer, with whom he already had a daughter, Rosemary. Maude Greer gave the surname Courtenay to both her children. Inwhile studying journalism in London, Courtenay met Benita Solomon. Courtenay entered the advertising industry and, over a career spanning 34 years, was the Creative Director of McCann EricksonJ. Walter Thompson and George Patterson Advertising. Along with Geoff PikeCourtenay developed the concept behind the Cadbury Yowiea chocolate that contained a children's toy, typically an Australian or New Zealand native animal. On 1 AprilCourtenay's son Damon who was born with the blood condition haemophilia died at age 24 from AIDS-related complicationscontracted through a blood transfusion. Courtenay divorced Benita in and acknowledged sexual relationships with other women during their year marriage. Benita Courtenay died on 11 Marchat the age of 72, four months after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia.

He built up this success over the long term by promoting himself and developing a relationship with readers as much as marketing his books; for instance, he gave away up to 2, books free each year to readers he met in the street. Courtenay claimed that this was because "American publishers for the most part have difficulties about Australia, they are interested in books in their own country first and foremost.
