I love telling stories. One of those stories starts with "No, when I was in the Wiggles they already had a Jeff so I had to use my middle name..." I regularly have whole bunches of kids in the school where I work believing I was once Eddie the Evil Wiggle and was sacked from the show after some parents complained that there shouldn't be an evil Wiggle. I use this story to demonstrate how a storyteller can make the most unlikely events (and if you have ever heard me sing you would understand just how unlikely this is) seem believable. Writing stories down for others to read and enjoy is one of the most special thing anyone can hope to do.


I write short stories, chapter books, picture book texts, junior and young adult novels.

My first book, 'Paper Magic' was released by IFWG Publishing Australia in late 2013.

My children's ghost story, 'Under the Owl Tree' was published in Volume Three of the anthology 'Charms', edited by Sally Odgers.
 
My current work-in-progress is a Junior novel titled 'Olivia Stone and the Trouble With Trixies.'  The story explores how hard it is to protect the world from the monsters when most don't come out until past your bedtime. It is the first book in 'The Guardians of St. Giles' series.
