Guest Bio
I discovered a passion for children’s books while reading to my son from a very young age. Although, I quickly found out through my own experience of buying and borrowing books that the market for young boys in the 7-10yo age group was not always well catered for. This gave me the inspiration to start writing and illustrating.
A few years ago, I started writing a series of comic books for my son and his friends in grades three to five. The feedback I received from the students, teachers and parents was overwhelming, with my son’s friends constantly asking for the next installment.
This gave me the confidence to pursue writing and illustrating children’s books on a professional basis.
In terms of my other sources of inspiration, I dearly love the works of Tim Burton for his offbeat humour and the stunning abstract worlds that he conjures. I also admire Jim Kay for his exquisite illustrations, which have been made famous through his illustrated versions of the Harry Potter series, of which I am a huge fan.
I am an associate member of the Australian Society of Authors, a member of the Writer's Marketplace and an attendee of the CYA All Stars Writers and Illustrators Conference.
