New Junior Fiction - Mischief and Magic

21/4/2025

0 Comments

 
​Thrilled to announce the publication of my very first endeavour into Junior Fiction - Mischief and Magic.

Three magical stories with fantasy dragons, witches, and danger at every turn.

Immerse yourself in a world of wonder and excitement with Mischief and Magic. This captivating book is perfect for young readers who love to journey into the realms of fantasy and magic.
Transport yourself to a place where anything is possible, and where mischief and magic collide to create thrilling adventures that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Let your imagination run wild as you join our young protagonists on their daring escapades, and watch as they face challenges, master hidden powers, and discover the true magic that lies within.
This spellbinding book is a collection of short stories that will capture the hearts and minds of children and adults alike. Each tale is beautifully crafted to create a rich and immersive experience, filled with twists, turns, and surprises.
In “Ruby, Wicked”, a young witch transforms her Burmese cat into a supermodel with magical powers.

In The Dragon’s Lair, young Eric clanks up a mountain in bulky knight’s armour to steal a dragon’s tail to rescue his family from poverty.

In “The Golden Telescope”, timid Garth and bold Sally portal into a whirling dimension of fairies, trolls and a stolen sceptre via an old telescope in their great-grandfather’s spider-infested house.

Prepare to be swept away on a whirlwind of adventure as you explore the world of Mischief and Magic. Let your imagination soar as you dive into these captivating stories. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to experience the wonder and joy that awaits within the pages of this delightful book.

Junior Fiction Chapter Book

21/7/2024

I’ve been quiet of late adding final touches to some longer pieces of writing. And it has finally paid off! 


This has been many years in the making. I’ve always wanted to dabble in Junior Fiction and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just signed a contract for three chapter books to be published in 2025. 


I’m excited about this new series of books to be published in a single volume titled ‘Magic & Mischief’ for young readers making the move into chapter books for the first time, like me!!! 


Magic weaves throughout these fun stories. One of the chapter books was the premises for my picture book The Storytellers. 


I think it’s important to challenge yourself as a writer and try different writing styles. It helps us to know ourselves better, build curiosity and spark our creativity. 


Thank you IP (Interactive Publications Pty Ltd). Let the fun begin!

Book Week 2023 - It's a Wrap!

27/8/2023

I love this time of year when I get to visit schools to celebrate books and inspire a love of reading and writing. 

I visited many schools and presented to hundreds of children and I hope I’ve inspired a new generation of readers to follow their dreams and to never give up. 

It was great to end Book Week with a visit to my old primary school, Punchbowl Public School. I was overwhelmed by the warm welcome waiting for me as soon as I walked through the gates. Children greeted me, shook my hand and congratulated me. The day was a roller coaster of emotions. 
​
Huge thanks to
the all the amazing teacher librarians. I admire the way they give their all in everything they do. It's a testament to their love and dedication. 

Happy reading!
