24.01.2022 What a day it was yesterday, returning to yesteryear @StJohnsLutheranPrimarySchoolBundaberg I attended this primary school as a student, and lived next door.... well, the front of my house was where this sign is now! The house has long gone but it was so much fun sharing stories with the new generation of students.... #Bundaberg #yesteryear #drcameronstelzer #PieRats #scallywagsbooks #australianauthor

22.01.2022 A happy little Pie Rat dressed up for book week. Awesome work on the costume, Mum! I am always thrilled to see home-made costumes appearing at book parades. The Stroogle Sails the Seven Seas is a bit of a favourite with the junior grades. . . #bookweek #bookcharactercostume... #stroogle #pierats #pieratsbooks See more

22.01.2022 I love when characters come to life in schools and homes. It is so rewarding! Well done to these boys aka Grandpa Garden Gnome and Whisker, and their clever Mum. Check out that beard

21.01.2022 It's great to connect with Victorian schools during this difficult time. I spend the day with Solway Primary School (allbeit virtual) and brainstormed some great story ideas with the students. Imagination is still alive and well during lockdown!

21.01.2022 10 quick tips on creating scenes for young illustrators and artists.

20.01.2022 There are times when the artist inside comes out. Before I was an author, I was an artist and I loved creating installations with ‘lots of something’. One time it was creating an installation involving 300 eggshells and 2000 lights. Now as an author and illustrator, I live and breathe books, tour in schools and haven’t had time to set up an exhibition in years. But here it is! A fun installation combining my two passions check out the creation of a 2 metre Bookmas Tree! Fea...turing over 500 copies of The King’s Key (Book 2 in my Pie Rats series), and over 500 copies of The Hungry Hairy Sea Monster (Book 3 in my Scallywags series), green is the spine colour of the season. With a little help from a @kmartaus sign, I wish you a very Merry Bookmas! .

18.01.2022 Research for my upcoming book, Scallywags and the Dessert Island, meant a trip to the Bake Boss cake shop. My new character, Miss Sprinkle, would love the entire wall of sprinkles. My daughters think a scrumptious book launch is in order next year!

17.01.2022 Selecting colours for my new Mice Cream design at SunPrints clothing factory. Fingers crossed the new shirts are a big hit. Hot pink, glitter and ice cream rolled into one! What's not to love about it? . . #micecream #scallywagsbooks ... #sunprints See more

16.01.2022 Dino Might visited for book week, along with Ruby Rat and Miss Sparkle, the Uni Corn. Well done to this incredibly talented family for creating these wonderful costumes! Even their patient big brother got involved. I think this Dino Might costume is a first and will be hard to top! . . #bookweek #bookcharactercostume ... #dinomight #drcameron #pieratsbooks #scallywagsbooks See more

16.01.2022 My latest book, Scallywags and the Wham Kabam Gran, has an invent-your-own-ending option. Here is great home-made, video Olivia and Emmie put together. I love the explosive twist at the end! Enjoy.

15.01.2022 Dwarfed by the pile of books I'm signing tonight for Wellers Hill State School. Lots of holiday reading will be happening! Thanks for all the orders, students. . . #wellershillstateschool #storydoctor... #bookweek See more

13.01.2022 I had a blast visiting Aloomba State School before flying home to Brisbane. The student's stories and pictures were out of this world!

13.01.2022 Five days visiting Moreton Downs State School. Writing, drawing and all things Scallywags - like these Bunny Buccaneers! Well done to all the creative students. . . #authorvisits #moretondownsstateschool @ Morton Downs Primary School

13.01.2022 Just snapped a picture of the Stroogle attempting to drive a rusty ute before flying home from Western Queensland. Arrived home to hear the girls singing Aussie Jingle Bells. "Dashing through the bush in a rusty Holden ute ..." Very fitting. . . #stroogle #rustyute... #aussiejinglebells See more

12.01.2022 Live illustration demonstration at Our Lady of Mt Carmel. The wonder of technology to project a detailed watercolour illustration onto a large screen. Surfin' Shark and social distancing rolled into one!

12.01.2022 Book Week dress ups have begun! I have seen great photos this week of 'Whisker' and 'Ruby Rat' and other characters popping up at schools throughout Australia. I have even waved to some in my school visits this week. Well done creative parents!!! With some schools celebrating Book Week this Term, and others in Term 4, it's going to be costume mania for quite some time! If you're after inspiration and ideas for your little character, check out the Costume Gallery on my website. Link in bio. Happy costuming

11.01.2022 Looking forward to visiting Wellers Hill State School this week. My nephew has already scoped out the territory for me

10.01.2022 I may not have mini books at the supermarket, but my Chinese publisher plans to bring out trading cards of characters from my Pie Rats series. I can just imagine the playground conversations: "I'll swap you Captain Sabre for a flying pie." "No way! I want Ruby Rat. She rocks!" . .... #pieratsbooks #tradingcards See more

10.01.2022 I have been reading messages from students at Coombabah State School after visiting the school this term. I love the pirate presentation!

09.01.2022 Big weekend of booksigning for Bundaberg and Hervey Bay schools. I hope my signing hand holds out!

08.01.2022 Chilling out before author presentations with Tracey Halstead, librarian of Our Lady of Mt Carmel Primary School. It's going to be a curious, wild day!

07.01.2022 A bit of a flashback. I was in the Cairns Post today, talking to students about writing stories for the local newspaper when I was their age. How things have changed. Kids today can write their own blogs or start their own YouTube channel! Regardless of how technology has changed communication, there is something special about seeing you work in print and receiving a shiny gold certificate in the mail. It was a pity the certificates I received weren't Willy Wonka's golden tickets ...

06.01.2022 It's time to read Stroogle books with the Stroogle under the Bookmas Tree while dressed as the Stroogle. I know what Jasmine wants for Christmas! . . #stroogle #bookmastree... #booktree #bookishchristmas #bookphotography #bookart #kmart #kmartstyling #kmarthacks #kmartaus #kmartdecor #kmarthome #drcameronstelzer #PieRats #scallywagsbooks #kidsbooks #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #IKEAatmyplace #IKEA #instaikea #ikeahacks #bookmastree #booktree #bookishchristmas #bookphotography #bookart #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #drcameron See more

05.01.2022 It's great to see the impact of authors in schools.

05.01.2022 Surfin' Sharks and a League of Llamas descended on St Joseph's School, Bracken Ridge, today. Aleesah Darlison brought her llama fun to the junior grades and I entertained the scallywags from year 4.

04.01.2022 Getting ready for today's virtual holiday workshops with Brisbane City Libraries.

03.01.2022 Thanks St Luke's! It's great to be back in Bundaberg.

03.01.2022 Thanks to Currimundi State School for hosting me today. I had a ball working with every class from prep to yr 6 as a part of their book week celebrations!

02.01.2022 I thought we'd do a bit more research for Scallywags and the Dessert Island by visiting Candy Land at Harbour Town. It's impossible to remember just how many varieties of sweets there are until your daughters start loading them into your shopping bag! Fortunately I took control of the lolly scoop before we had a tonne of candy to pay for.
