WHEELS shortlisted for SAKURA AWARD, JAPAN

My novel for teenagers, WHEELS, has been shortlisted for the SUKURA AWARDS in Japan. This award has been created by librarians of international schools in Japan and will be decided next year. To look at the short list of middle school novels check out the link below. I was honoured to be selected and you'll find WHEELS is in excellent company.

On another note my new book with AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE is ready to be printed soon. I received the proofs this week and was delighted with Tom Kurema's depiction once again of characters Rachel and Tim. The brumby he created was also lovely. It is an exciting story that reflects last years summer of drought, bushfire and storms and tries to capture the hardship experienced by farmers as well the animals, domestic and native, who share farm life.

You can find out more about the wonderful AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE series at Blake Educations website.

Merry Christmas everyone!
