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!

A fun virtual visit to Sunnybank State School in Brisbane!

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!
