Where my
next book
begins...

I'm the author of over 50 books for children and young adults, including the hugely popular 12 book Extreme Adventures series and 47 Degrees, a perennial favourite in Australian classrooms, library discussion groups and book clubs.

To keep up to date with my goings on, latest releases and books that are coming soon, read on!

WELCOME TO MY BRAND NEW WEBSITE

The past couple of years have been a bit crazy for everyone, especially those of us living in Victoria, the most locked-down state in Australia. But things are looking up this year: we no longer have to wear masks on the beach; I’m back visiting schools again; and am allowed to hug my grandchildren.

To celebrate, I’ve commissioned my good mate and IT guru, Simon Treloar, to give my website a makeover. It’s simpler now but retains the playful spirit that I try to instill in my writing. I hope you like it.

COMING SOON:
MY DEAD GIRLFRIEND

Jesse Pridham and Gracie Hart go to the same high school, but they have only ever spoken to each other once (he said ‘Hi’, she said ‘Hi’ back). Now she’s dead, and she talks to him all the time.

And that makes things complicated when Jesse gets involved with Gracie’s former best friend Kashvi Patel, who’s very much alive... and really likes him.

LATEST RELEASE:
BANJO TULLY

Banjo Tully hasn’t ever given much thought to climate change. But when he meets self-described ‘Conservation nut’ Mai Le – after the worst drought in living memory puts their future in jeopardy – Banjo sets out on an 800-kilometre solo horse ride to Canberra.

It’s a journey that might not only save his family’s farm, but could also change the planet.

Available from Ford Street Publishing.
