- I have wanted to be an author since I was seven year’s old.
- I wrote my first poem when I was in grade two, and read it out at school assembly.
- My young adult novel Letters to Leonardo (being published by Walker Books Australia in 2009) took me over ten years to write.
- Met my best friends in high school and we have shared a lot of bad hair days since then.
- Favourite sport is golf, and I would play a lot better if story ideas didn’t keep leaping into my head just before I hit the ball.
- People think I’m mildly crazy because I travelled around Australia for nearly two years in tents with my husband and two sons under three. (But we had heaps of fun. I rode camels in the outback and would like to own a camel one day.)
- Writing has always been a big thing in my life, and I have worked as a journalist and advertising copywriter.
- My muse is a black goat called Molly.

Hi Dee
So nice to read your blog – I’ve always wanted to be a writer too and wrote my first novel at 7! I hope your book does really well – I’ll definitely be looking out for it. Let me know if you ever need someone to interview (I’m rather new to blogging & am having so much fun discovering kindred spirits on the web!)
all my best
Kate Forsyth
Thanks for dropping in Kate,
Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply – this one slipped past me. (Things got kind of hectic with book promotion and working on the Parallel Imports issue) I would love to interview you on my blog/blogs.
Look forward to cyber seeing you here at tips4youngwriters.
Dee:-)
