   Author Bio:
   OK I admit it. I write stories about bush animals learning music.

   The ideas came from teaching children about the joys of music, and when I told them fun stories about animals learning music, they thought this was ‘cool!’

   Last year was such a special year in which I stepped over the line from class room teacher and musician, replacing hectic with glam pyjamas, coffee, breakfast, dog training and looking after our small farm with its variety of fun farm animals, to become an author of stories and books for children’s music education.

   Music is such a rich experience and everyone should know as much about music as they can. But music theory can be so complicated.

   Our books and stories written for Music on the Bookshelf have been developed to provide storybooks about music for young children, and chapter books for primary age children. [In print, EBook and audio book formats.]

   The engaging stories encourage discussion about why music makes us feel so good, giving all students the opportunity to enrich their lives through the understanding of music and musical instruments.

   Old fashioned story telling that sneaks a musical education in the background.

   I have enjoyed playing flute in productions ranging from Musical Comedy to Savoy Operas, Arts Theatre Children’s productions and Concert Society Orchestras.

   Any other spare moments, musically speaking, were involved with friends playing in the musical ensembles, for weddings and private functions.

2. Famous

   About Famous:

   Samantha Steel is blissfully happy. She’s about to be made a partner in one of the country’s leading advertising agencies, she has no messy emotional ties or relationship hang-ups, plenty of money, clothes, fabulous parties – and designer dresses and décor to die for.

   Perfection. Until a highly enjoyable one-night stand goes horribly pear-shaped and she accidentally bonks someone famous. The bonking wasn’t accidental – it was the guy being about as famous as it gets that was her big mistake.

   Suddenly she’s a notorious scarlet woman and her heavenly life has transformed into paparazzi hell. Making a break for obscurity Sam disappears into the depths of the deepest darkest countryside, miles from the nearest latte, and finds her life taking some very unexpected turns…

   Entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny, this is chick-lit at its wittiest and funniest. Fans of Bridget Jones Diary and Marian Keyes won’t be able to put this one down!

He, like so many others, dreamed of following in the colonists’ footsteps. He wanted to help settle a new world—to be something greater.

   Then came the war…

   Hope. Hood needs it now more than ever. As secrets about the original colonists are revealed and the Epherium Corporation’s dark agenda is exposed, new adversaries threaten the mission, proving more dangerous to Earth than their already formidable foes…
