About Me
I was born in the Mallee at Hopetoun and grew up on a wheat farm outside a small town called Beulah.
As a child, I was fascinated with stories, reading on my own well before I went to school. When I didn’t have my nose in a book, I spent my time drawing or writing.
I had three main dreams: to become an English teacher, a children's author, and a back-up singer.
Fast forward several decades, I am now juggling the roles of full time teacher, children's author, and even back-up singer on the odd occasion. Dreams really do come true!
In my spare time, I love creating artworks and spending time on my bush block with my husband, my two beautiful children and the ever-growing menagerie of animals that share our home.
NEW RELEASE!
Introducing NIGHT WATCH, another collaboration with the amazingly talented Tannya Harricks, Published by Walker Books, Australia.
A stunningly told, beautifully illustrated and distinctly Australian bedtime story
Sunset beckons. Moon appears, and Tawny Frogmouth stirs. She begins her nightly flight, watching over all the animals nestled down to sleep in the burrows and branches of the beautiful Australian bush.
Australia's native Tawny Frogmouths are often mistaken for owls, are like owls are nocturnal.
This beautiful bedtime book follows the journey of the Tawny Frogmouths as they soar through the skies and through the night ... keeping watch over native fauna as they settle in for their safe slumber.
