No, I’m not turning 30. That happened once upon a long time ago.
I’m excited to be signing my 30th book Contract! It’s great to be working with the wonderful team at Wild Eyed Press again. Looking forward to this beauty arriving into the world. Nice way to end Book Week on an exciting note. Happy author!

Loved hearing this podcast about Seal Child. Kerry and Lynette nailed it. Enjoy! www.thebooktree.co/with-this-book-we-can-podcast/seal-child-by-robert-vescio-ill-by-anna-pignataro#comments 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! Check out my recently published picture book titled Patience. Illustrated by Krista Brennan and published by IP Kidz.
This book is about a girl and her aptly named dog who learn about the value of patience in everyday life.

You've warmed my heart on a cold winter morning. Thank you. |
