Hi, my name is Bren and I write novels for young readers. I'm fascinated by the future and all things science fiction. I adore the many natural environments
we have downunder.
I have travelled extensively and I really love life in Kalbarri on the mid west coast of Australia and think it's very unfair I sometimes have to leave and go out into the real world.
My love of the environment and fascination with the future have naturally combined in my novels for children and I hope the wild adventures I write give young readers tools and a language to talk about the kinds of futures they want to see. If we can dream it, we can build it.
Some quick facts:
