Growing up in the southeast suburbs of Melbourne and attending two different primary and secondary schools, I was the oldest and had one younger brother and two working parents. Times were not easy at times, but we always managed and I had many friends, although one in particular who I shared my time with. My passion of sport as a child was gymnastics and hockey. I spent every night after school practicing gymnastics in our front yard as my parents could not afford for me to attend classes. I spent my first few years working in the insurance industry before landing in the electricity industry, where I met the father of my two children. After divorcing and becoming a single parent and raising two young boys, it was the passion my older son showed in reading adventure books that lead me to write my first book filled with magic and adventure and some suspense. I have found writing this book very rewarding and watching the reaction of my son as I tell him different parts of the story and yes he has also had some input. Now he will read the finished book and not just hear me talk about different ways of directing the book. This is for you, Corey and Jamie, and may you enjoy this adventure as much as I have creating it.
