25.01.2022 I wrote this poem about 2 years ago. I love the story it tells about recognising potential. Hope you like it.

24.01.2022 Teaching this awesome group of little superstars the difference between left and right. Much fun!

23.01.2022 ***Anyone looking for a CREATIVE WRITING and/or ENGLISH/READING ACTIVITIES "TUTOR/COACH" for lower/middle primary kids?*** I have been asked by someone about running some online sessions where I provide creative writing and English/reading activities and coaching for kids. If that's of interest, please comment below or PM me. If there is enough interest, I will get back to people who respond, with some options on cost/delivery etc.

23.01.2022 I never knew about this until now. Wow! What an amazing story. I like what one guy says at the end. "I never want to say, "I should have."

23.01.2022 HELP NEEDED! I'm working on a rhyming poem for kids called "The Whingy Cat." Do you understand what Whingy Cat means in reference to kids. Also, for an illustration, do you think the whingy child would need a cat's tail and ears for people to work out what it is? Or could they just look whingy? Thanks!!!

22.01.2022 Been hanging out with the super talented and entertaining, Dabiz Junko the past few days. Dabiz is the illustrator for my next kids book, Little Rhymes for Special Times. It's due out later this year.

21.01.2022 I have a website, www.juniorwritersclub.com.au, that provides creative writing activities for kids. I currently offer courses and programs where participants pay for them individually. I am looking at setting up a subscription model, where participants pay a minimal monthly fee and get access to everything once they are a member. I am interested in hearing what your preference would be from a parents perspective. Do you like the subscription idea or would you prefer to pay for things individually? Thanks for giving me your feedback.

21.01.2022 Here's a little poem I wrote about using your imagination.

21.01.2022 I am looking at making my picture book, "The Little Kangaroo" into an animated short film, narrated by me. It would be about 7-8 minutes long. I have 2 questions... 1) Would you be interested in something like that for your kids to watch? 2) Is it something you would expect to pay for, if so roughly how much? Thanks for your feedback.

19.01.2022 I thought this was worth the share. Amazing to see their reactions to something I have always taken for granted.

16.01.2022 Here's a SNEAK PEAK at the cover for one of my brand new children's picture books due out later this year. It's a book that introduces children to rhyming and opposites using super cool crocodile characters. It's perfect for 3-5 year olds. **Pre sales starting soon.** Stay tuned for more details.

13.01.2022 Early morning flight home from Brisbane to Townsville on the red roo.

13.01.2022 HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS? I wrote this verse earlier in the year on a Jetstar napkin on a flight to Brisbane. Don't ask me why I was thinking about this topic at the time. I have no idea. Hope you like it.

10.01.2022 My next children's book is going to be a compilation of rhymes I have written for kids. Over the next few days I am going to share recordings of some of the rhymes that will be in the book. The book is due for release in September this year. Here is the first one for you to listen to. Hope you like it.

10.01.2022 ***You gotta listen to this.*** I love watching these kids perform, seeing the excitement in their eyes and hearing it in their voices. There is something I find amazingly fulfilling about inspiring kids to do great things, so I want to do everything I can to help other kids have an experience like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2elhNNEXo08

07.01.2022 ***HELP NEEDED*** Hello everyone. I am at the final stages of finishing one of my new upcoming books called, "Little Rhymes For Special Times." The book is a collection of 27 rhyming poems I have written for children between around 4 and 10 years old. I have to chose a cover design for the book and need some help making a decision. Below are the two covers I am looking at. They need a few little tweaks to finish them off. Based on what you see though, can you let me know... which one is your preference. Please comment below with (A) if you prefer the silhouette/bubbles cover design or (B) if you prefer the kids looking at the book cover design. Thanks for your help!

06.01.2022 Lol! Much funny. Turn your volume up..

03.01.2022 Such a cool pic from Ballandean State School.

03.01.2022 There is so much hidden talent in the world. I love the moment when someone comes out and does "their thing," and the world gets to see their brilliance for the first time. This girl and her story are amazing!

02.01.2022 Called in to the tourist information ctr in Normanton today and got to see the Aboriginal Rodeo Riders display I was involved in creating. I was very proud to be asked to create the text for this project and it was amazing to see the finished product. Congratulations to all who were involved and helped to make it happen. It's a fitting tribute to the legends it portrays and to the region.
