I was first published when I was nine years old and had a little story in Sunbeams, a children's mag put out by the Sydney Sunday Sun.  I also read some of my work on radio stations 2SM and 2GB in Sydney.

I have written nine novelettes for teenagers who were classed as "reluctant readers".  A school librarian told me that my books were always being stolen.  At the time I had a houseful of teenagers and their friends so I really knew what I was writing about.
