Wondering what authors and illustrators do while waiting in a green room? Answer – read horoscopes and threaten each other with foam samurai swords.

My kids think this fridge magnet is hysterically funny.

An evil genius has moved on from making doomsday devices, and bred a doomsday vegetable!

I never knew that a pen on a chain is called a ‘captive desk pen’. It makes me feel sorry for all the pens held captive in banks.

Big thank you to everyone who came to the Kids & YA Festival at the NSW Writers’ Centre today! It was so much fun telling silly stories with these wonderful authors @jacquelineharve @timharrisbooks @oliverwinfree

Nanny Piggins has agreed to make a triumphant return! She’s been dictating a short story for @dymockschildrenscharities

Look what I just got in the post! New book. New series. It’s starting to feel real now. THE PESKI KIDS on sale August 1st.

Happy International Handstand Day!

Hoping this will help me get 1500 words written today. There’s nothing wrong with using performance enhancing vitamin drinks to write children’s books is there? I hope no-one from the CBCA turns up wanting to check my pee.

Coming up with cover ideas for PESKI KIDS 2.

The council kindly put a height chart outside our house.

Getting stuck in to writing PESKI KIDS 2. I’m trying to be better organised with plotting for this book. I actually wrote an outline! You’d think that after 18 books I’d have a better idea what I was doing.
