Exciting news! My first picture book will be published by new Australian publisher Red Paper Kite Publishing next year! Check out their website www.redpaperkite.com

 

I am thrilled to announce that I have won two prizes in the 2018 CYA Conference writing competition—first place in Chapter Books – Younger Readers and third place in Chapter Books – Older Readers. Plus a full manuscript request from a major publishing house. Much celebrating happening!

Along with Monster Sharks, I have a middle grade fiction book coming out with Heinemann. Details early next year.

My new book with R.I.C. Publications—The History Box (Year 5)—is available now. Fascinating to write …

I am currently working on three big projects—two chapter books and a picture book. This beautiful girl is my inspiration for one of the chapter books.
