'... our class and would like to know the following:'
What inspired you to write the books?
I love books, reading and writing them. It's fun and I pretend to be the characters in my stories - it's like acting on paper. I hope my readers will be moved to laugh, think and sometimes cry.

What inspired you to write the Audrey series?
Audrey was a character in 'Outback: The Diary of Jimmy Porter' in the My Story series. People liked her and wanted to read more about her. She ended up with three books of her own.

What inspired you to write all different book series?
I like to try different things. I would get bored doing the same thing all the time. Writing a series allows me to spend more time with my characters. I hate saying Goodbye sometimes.

Where were you when it hit you when you wanted to write Audrey?
My publisher came up with the idea actually. I remember sitting at an internet terminal in Melbourne, reading an email and thinking, Mm. That's a good idea.

Happy for Audrey.

What is you most popular book out of all you have written?
That is hard to answer because it changes all the time. The Audrey series is very popular. It is right up there.
There is an Audrey competition going right now. Entries are open until the end of October 2011.
And remember there are lots of activities and information on the Audrey section of my website.
