I'm a children's and YA author from Australia. I've published books with very sensible titles such as 'Susie Smelly-feet', 'Birdbrain' and 'Red Goes Green'. I've also written scripts for Australian television dramas such as 'Neighbours' and 'Home and Away'. I've always hankered to publish a crime novel for grown-ups and at present I'm embarking on a crime writing career.
