I have a Bachelor of Arts (Honours), majoring in History, from the University of Melbourne and a Master of Arts in Australian Studies from Monash University. My M.A. thesis was titled Victorian Cinema Landscapes. In June of 2000, I completed an RMIT short course, Screenwriting - Introduction, taught by Dr Lisa Dethridge.

I write both fiction and non-fiction, long and short, as well as doing some editing. I am available for speaking engagements at schools, conferences, etc. See the Speaking section for more information.

I write a regular blog called Literary Clutter, about books and writing.

I've had 45 books published so far. Several of my books can be purchased online through the Show and Tell Promotions Online Bookshop.

Two of my books Life, Death and Detention and Real Sci-Fi are on the booklist for the 2010 Victorian Premier's Reading Challenge. This is their sixth year on the list.

My latest placements are:

• A school reader, Talk About Teeth, to Macmillan Education Australia.
• A magazine review of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine #43 for the Australian Spec Fic in Focus website.
• A set of six books, "What's in My Food?", for Macmillan Australia's Young Library series.
• A book review of TimeRiders by Alex Scarrow for the MC Reviews website.

I'm proud to be a member of the following writers' organisations:

• Australian Horror Writers Association (AHWA)
• Australian Society of Authors (ASA)
• Fellowship of Australian Writers (FAW)
• Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (ACBWI) — main site / Aust & NZ branch site
