Introduction

Hi everyone,

I'm an aspiring author based in Sydney, Australia.  I got into the writing game mainly as a way of keeping my 10 year old twins entertained.  Years ago, a long car ride had reached the "Dad, I'm bored" stage, and inspiration struck.  I took advantage of a youth spent reading every fantasy story I could find, and began telling new stories to my twins based on the exploits of our family pet, an American Eskimo named Shiraz.

Suddenly, the twins were hooked on stories of Shiraz the Rescue Dog, who somehow always managed to save the day when the twins were battling giant sea monsters or trapped in a snow cave with Yeti about to gobble them up.

Over the years, the twins' tastes in stories evolved, but they stayed interested in my stories too.  Finally, at their urging, I started writing them all down, and pulled together my first novel.

It's a fantasy story about twins who find out their mother is in fact a fairy princess when she is kidnapped.  The twins have to rescue her while confronting their own feelings about being half-fairies.

I'm embarking on a new challenge of seeking a publisher now.  Stay tuned, I'll keep you all posted!
