A massive welcome to my website!

I’m a children’s author, educator and environmental scientist from Perth, Western Australia. I love children’s books! I love reading them, I love writing them, and I love to spread the cheer.

My debut book for middle readers The Lost Stone of SkyCity was shortlisted for an Aurealis Award, and my latest novel, YA Evacuation Road is a CBCA Book of the Year Awards 2022 Notable Book.

I’ve also signed a two book deal with Allen & Unwin for a middle grade Sci-Fi duology (Wooo!). The first book, Mars Awakens, is OUT NOW (!!) and book 2 Mars Underground will be released May 2023.

My author bio is below, but if you want to know even more then head on over to the awesome ‘About’ bit, or feel free to contact me because I love to hear from you!
