Hello Narellan Vale Public School, New South Wales!

A big hello again to the students of Class 5/6P, Narellan Vale Public School, in Sydney, Australia! It was fabulous to meet you all this morning via Zoom for a great Q&A, to chat about my books, inspiration and writing process, as well as that all-important question, how to become a great writer! It was really inspiring to meet a group who were so interested in writing and I feel sure that there are future published authors in your midst! Keep up the great work and I hope to meet you all again! And thanks to school principal Michelle Sarjana and class teacher Petra Pikula for inviting me!

Say hello to the fabulous school captains of Sunnybank State School in Brisbane, Queensland! I had the great pleasure of visiting the Grade 6s virtually last Friday for a fun author session, where we talked all about the Chinese Calendar Tales. We had some great Q&A about why I wrote them, how I got my inspiration for each story, and how I plan my stories generally, with a little bit of fascinating Chinese history thrown in! Huge thanks to Principal John Greenup for hosting my visit. I hope you all enjoy reading my books and that they inspire you to write your own stories! And make sure you enter my next Clever Competition, coming soon!
