What's New
and what's coming soon...
July
2007
Well, it certainly has taken some
time but finally I've had a chance to update this website and add a few
new things. I can't believe it's taken me so long to get around to
this. SORRY!!! Since the last update the full set of my children's
educational series, Flying Colours, has
been published both in Australia, the United States and Canada. It's
even been translated into French, as have Nelson Focus and my PM
titles. In addition, I have a brand new series out as part of the
wonderful PM series of readers for children. It's called PM Science Facts. Check out the
Books page for more details.

Coming soon - another series of books that are part of a whole new
reading and writing program for children, created for the PM
Label. PM Writing Workshop is
a very special complete literacy program designed to teach children how
to read, write and understand different text types. My contribution to
this series, along with wonderful author and good friend Julie Haydon,
are a set of non-fiction exemplar books that we feel are second to
none. Once again we have been backed by the expertise of the amazing
Annette Smith as Educational Consultant. Annette is a person I consider
to be one of the the world's foremost experts on children's literacy.
Keep an eye out for this exciting new program.

Also coming soon... a fun book I'm hugely excited about! Cyber Hound is a story about a
scruffy dog with some very special abilities. It is for eight to
ten-year-olds and is part of The Five Mile Press Ripper Reads series of books. It
will be availabe in all good book shops within the next couple of
months and will appear on my books page once it's out.

Okay, what can I say... also coming soon a page on dog tricks you can
teach your very own dog at home. Yep, nothing whatsoever to do with
writing but since I spend just about as much time training my dog as I
do writing, I think Tess and her tricks deserve a page. This page will
provide tips on how to teach your dog a range of tricks such as the
ones I've taught my Tess, including the use of props such as baskets
and toys. Think Inspector Rex without the cute detectives LOL.
Other information on dogs will also feature from time to time. At
some point soon I will also be setting up a YouTube site to feature
videos of Tess doing these tricks and some of her competitive Obedience
work too. I may even feature some 'cat tricks' too, as I have taught my
cat Miska several tricks such as to sit up and beg, 'sit', 'spin' and
jump through a hoop. Teaching cats is a little different to teaching
dogs. So, stand by for details. Now... I've just got to get time to do
this!
