About the Author
I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, and have been a giant book nerd for as long as I can remember. I studied Cinema and Anthropology at uni, and then spent a few more years studiously avoiding getting a real job by dabbling in a bunch of graduate stuff, including Writing and Editing. In between I have been a high school teacher, Middle-Eastern tour guide, waitress, community theatre dogs-body, and IT help-desk person (hands down, my most unsuccessful job to date) . Now, by day, I am a children's book editor, and I spend most of the rest of my time reading, writing, and watching YouTube. 'Life in Outer Space' is my debut YA novel. It's a young adult romantic comedy that combines some of my many loves - movies, music, karate, old cinemas, Star Wars, and all things geek.
