 A message from Heather

Thank you for visiting my website. Whether you are a teacher, a parent or other interested adult, or a child, I hope you enjoy your stay. As you will see from my books page, the majority of my published works are for children. I have had the pleasure and privilege of working on a number of exciting children's educational series, both fiction and non-fiction. The world is an amazing place and I hope that my non-fiction titles in particular, inspire young readers to look further at the topics I write on.

There is a stories page in the children's section on this site that I hope to add to over time. All of the stories attached to this page are fiction except one - a non-fiction page that tells the true story of Joan of Arc in as an objective and non-denominational way as possible. There is also a page called Island Diary which students from countries outside Australia may find interesting, as it is about Australian animals I have met on the island where I live.

Some of the stories were up on my previous website and one is new. I hope to add more in the coming months. Teachers, please feel free to use these stories in the classroom if you wish. Parents may also wish to download the stories for their children and of course, children are welcome to download them any time. I have had a lot of good feedback over the years from both teachers and children about my story pages in particular.

At present I am working on a number of exciting projects for both children and adults that will be published over the coming months - some with my friend and colleague Julie Haydon. I will keep visitors to this website informed of newly-published books on the What's New page.


Finally, if you have any comments of questions, please feel free to e-mail me at the contact e-mail address at the top of the page. My books can be ordered by following the links on the links page at this site.

Heather
