Hi Everyone

Yippee – Spring is finally here.  It’s my favourite time of the year when the plants start to bloom and my place is abuzz with birds beginning to nest and the sounds of frogs croaking in the wetlands.

I’m also very pleased that the builders have finally finished my new kitchen and study.  They have done a fabulous job, so now I’ll be able to cook restaurant quality meals in my own home (maybe not)!!  The new study overlooks my beautiful native forest and gives me a lot of inspiration for writing new stories. 

My latest book ‘Rascal Play Up’ has just been released into the stores and Penguin Books have decided that Rascal is so popular they want me to write even more books about him!!  So once those books are finished there will be a total of 18 Rascals for you to read!!  The next one is ‘Rascal Runs Away’ and is currently being illustrated by the talented, Bob Lea. He is doing an absolutely wonderful job.  ‘Rascal Runs Away’ will be released in February.   Hope you enjoy it.

Cheers
