About Me

​ ​I was a teacher until it was time not to just read and share picture books but write them too. For me it's always about stories, books and children reading.
I live by the sea in Shellharbour, Australia, where I snorkel with stingrays, whale watch and become a story spy in local coffee shops. The best thing about being a children’s author is that you can be a child again. 
 Always curious I travel whenever I can.  I dream of swimming with whale sharks one day and I hope to visit the real castle in Germany that inspired Cinderella's castle.

"Be the reason a child loves to read."
