Oh yes, book launches for OH NO!

Okay, I realise I just had a new book out on April 1st. That wasn’t an April Fools’ joke, it’s an actual book called Fuzzball and you can grab it in bookstores now!

But I have another book coming out in May, and I’m launching it in Fremantle, Melbourne and Brisbane! Details below.

Oh No! is a very silly picture book about ‘onomatopoeia’ (sound effects) – although in this book they are more appropriately called ‘oh-no-matopoiea’ (the sound of things going very badly).

It’s a super fun read-aloud that is sure to get kids giggling!

Join me to launch the book in April and May.



FREMANTLE launch: Sun April 26th

Join me in my hometown to launch my new picture book! We’ll be joined by author/illustrator extraordinaire Sean E Avery – get set for an epic illustrator duel.

DATE: Sunday April 26th
WHEN: 10:30am
WHERE: Paper Bird Books, 42 Henry St, Fremantle
TICKETS: Free!
RSVP: essential, via humanitix


MELBOURNE launch: Sat May 23rd

Melbourne, it feels like it’s been ages and I’ve missed you. We’ve got the hilarious Adrian Beck joining us for this one – and another epic illustrator duel (provided I survived the one with Sean back in Freo).

DATE: Saturday May 23rd
WHEN: 2:00pm
WHERE: The Little Bookroom, 8 Village Ave, Brunswick East
TICKETS: Free!
RSVP: essential, via humanitix


BRISBANE launch: Sun May 31st

Brizzy, you get a launch too! My bud Pete Carnavas will be joining us for the illustrator duel – but don’t let his calm, wise visage fool you. He is truly a lethal opponent. His pen is mightier than the sword, but that doesn’t change the fact he has a sword (who needs a sword?).

DATE: Sunday May 31st
WHEN: 2:00pm
WHERE: Where The Wild Things Are, 191 Boundary Street, West End, Brisbane
TICKETS: a family pass including the book is $25
RSVP: essential, via trybooking
