I'm an illustrator and author of children's books. Some of my books include The Terrible Plop, written by Ursula Dubosarsky, and the Boris series, about a young warthog and his adventures in the town of Hogg Bay. I live on the edge of the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. I like vinyl records, midday movies and slim volumes of poetry.

Would you like to ask me a question? Or maybe just say hello? Well, you can do that right here.

Boris around the world

DateTuesday, December 13, 2011 at 02:58AM

Sure, it may look quiet around here, but Boris has been busy.  Just the other day, he received a lovely bit of US attention courtesy of Betsy Bird, over at her Fuse 8 blog at School Library Journal. Betsy calls the Boris series "ridiculously fun boy books," which "follow in a long and worthy tradition of exceptional Australian early chapter books." Thank you Besty!  You can read her whole write up here.

And Boris has been travelling!  First stop, France - I'm very excited to report that all four Boris books will be coming out through the lovely people at Rageot.  And then it's off to South Korea, where Haseol Publishing will be releasing Boris and Ready, Set, Boris. 

Finally, here at home, there'll be two new Boris books coming out in 2012, called Boris on Show and Slow down Boris.  Look for some sneak peeks early in the new year.
