About the Author

Born in Adelaide and educated at schools in Plympton, Glen Osmond and Oakbank. After successfully completing year 10, I was employed as a Plumber’s apprentice, qualifying at age 21. Five years later, I commenced what was to be 12 years of part-time study in Public Health and allied subjects. I worked as a health and building surveyor in Western Australia from 1969 until 2000, a fall on a building site abruptly ended my working career. My interest in writing for young people had begun with my reading of bedtime stories to our two sons during their early years.
