I write books for children, and stories for grown-ups too. I combine my nostalgic celebration of culture and the environment in our everyday lives with the questions and reflections that draw us together. My writing absorbs the themes and issues encouraging collective discussions and conversations. I believe in the power of stories and reading out loud and in secret.

Several of my short stories, magazine features and micro fictions have been published and longlisted in literary magazines and Australian awards. I'm the winner of the 2020 Hal Porter Short Story Award, Highly Commended for the 2022 Newcastle Short Story Award and 2nd place in the Mulga Bill Writing Award.
