- I have wanted to be an author since I was seven year’s old.
- I wrote my first poem when I was in grade two, and read it out at school assembly.
- My young adult novel Letters to Leonardo (being published by Walker Books Australia in 2009) took me over ten years to write.
- Met my best friends in high school and we have shared a lot of bad hair days since then.
- Favourite sport is golf, and I would play a lot better if story ideas didn’t keep leaping into my head just before I hit the ball.
- People think I’m mildly crazy because I travelled around Australia for nearly two years in tents with my husband and two sons under three. (But we had heaps of fun. I rode camels in the outback and would like to own a camel one day.)
- Writing has always been a big thing in my life, and I have worked as a journalist and advertising copywriter.
- My muse is a black goat called Molly.
