In October 2018 I was honoured to be awarded

the GRAHAM DAVEY CITATION. This is presented

each year by the YABBA Council to 'a person

that through craft or contribution has made an

impact on Australian Children's literature.

Fantabulous news! Ella Diaries #10: Friendship S.O.S. has been shortlisted

for the 2017 REAL AWARDS, which include the KOALA AWARDS from NSW,

the YABBA AWARDS from Victoria, and the KROK awards from the Northern

Territory. The results will be announced in late October.

 Ella's cheeky little sister Olivia now has her own series!

She loves playing soccer, rollerskating and planning new inventions.

The first book, My New Best Friend, is out in February 2018.

There are three more to come this year:

• My (Almost) Perfect Puppy (May)

• Amazing Acrobats (July)

• Super Science Stars (October).

Ella Diaries #1: Double Dare You has been shortlisted for

the 2017 Western Australian Young Readers Awards, 

in the Younger Readers Category.
