Thanks for stopping by...

I am a writer of children's and young adult fiction. I find my inspiration in the wild and wonderful Australian bush and the quiet places in between.​

"Liam the Chid" is coming!

I have big news! The first book in the "Liam the Chid" series is almost here! I have been working on this one for a while, writing and illustrating! In August of this year, it will go out into the world - Liam the Chid and the Kangaroo Warriors!​

What have I been up to?

I have been out in the wild looking for new friends, rummaging through old books looking for new treasures, creating new characters, dreaming and drawing. And, of course, lately I have been illustrating my new book!​
