I trained as a zoologist and zookeeper, and have been a children’s book author for over twenty years. Why do I write? Because I enjoy it, and hope that it helps children to connect with reading and nature. What do I write about? Mostly my main interests – animals and the environment.
I aim to inspire young readers to be curious about nature, and go out and experience nature for themselves – even a park or back yard will do! I also want to encourage children to become lifelong readers, which is why I volunteer for Books in Homes Australia and Author Penpals.
My 22 children’s books are published through Trade and Education publishers in Australia and the USA.
I love sharing my books and writing adventures with children, and would love to inspire the kids at your school or library through one of my tailored interactive presentations. Just click on my Contact tab to get in touch, or contact me via socials here. Easy!
