![]() ![]() I tend to describe the books as Beetlejuice meets The Simpsons meets Harry Potter. How would you describe these books to a first-time reader? Your Horn-Horn series is a real jumble of genres. Because of that, Horn-Horn is more a comedy than a fantasy -the fantasy elements play second fiddle to the quirky small-town characters going about their daily lives. Stories strictly have to be contemporary fantasy (set in the real world) or else I feel I can’t relate to them. I am not fond of Lord of the Rings or Dune or anything like that. No, in fact I am not a fan of fantasy in general. Were you always intent on writing young adult fantasy? That’s when I realised I wanted to do this for a living. ![]() Particularly in my early twenties, when I couldn’t find any good books to read, I really started to rely on my own stories as a compensation. I started writing when I was 11, and gradually matured in my skills over the years. When did you decide you wanted to become an author? I am a proud Mount Macedonian, and think we live in the best place in the world (tied with London). I went to Macedon Primary School and Mowbray College, and attended Victoria University in Sunbury in the early 2000’s. ![]() I have lived in Mount Macedon and Gisborne since I was two-years-old, having moved here from London. What is your connection to Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges? ![]()
