The Author is a former primary school teacher with a Master of Education degree. Currently, she is tutoring students in Maths and English after school hours and writing childrens books. She intends to tutor for many years yet because she loves helping children to improve their school work and to improve their attitude towards it and themselves.

Prior to writing childrens stories, most of the writing the author had done was related to her studies and work as a teacher. She did enter two caption writing competitions and won both, and while this isnt story writing, it is evidence that she can be clear, concise and humorous.

The story has an Australian flavour. She writes not just to entertain, but to teach (subtle) wise life lessons that are relevant no matter what age the reader is. All stories are positive, wholesome and educative.
