I’ve been writing silly stories since I was six years old. I love writing about multi-storey treehouses, flying cats, boxing elephants, underpants, un-inventors, runaway prams, runaway bums, food-fights, time-travel, monkeys, giant bananas, dinosaurs, killer koalas, lost socks and dirty double-crossing knuckleheads. Oh yeah—and babysitting Mr Big Nose’s pesky grandchildren.

My readers are an amazingly creative, funny and passionate community who share their feedback, ideas and enjoyment with me wherever they are in the world. And I love that!

Adventures Unlimited is a brand new series in which YOU (the reader) and ME (the writer) go on wild adventures together to incredible places … just for the fun of it! All we need is our adventure suits, our adventure helmets, our trusty & talented illustrator Bill Hope to draw it all for us and we’re guaranteed to have the BEST ADVENTURES EVER!

This series tells the story of how Andy (that’s me!) and Terry (the illustrator!) live in an incredible ever-expanding treehouse and create very silly books together. I write the words and Terry draws the pictures. The first book in the series is The 13-Storey Treehouse, and after that we added 13 brand-new levels in each book until we reached 169 levels in the 13th and final book, The 169-Storey Treehouse. The series has been embraced by readers around the world and is published in over 35 languages.

As well as the 13 official books that comprise the Treehouse series, there are 6 extra books that explore the Treehouse world. Four FUN books, a book of short stories that were too silly to be read until now, and a comprehensive guide to all 169 levels, all the characters and all the astonishing machines and gadgets that you’ll find in our treehouse.

The JUST! books is a series of funny, fast-paced short stories narrated by a younger version of me (Andy!) with illustrations by him (Terry!). There are 8 books in the series: Just Tricking!, Just Annoying!, Just Stupid!, Just Crazy!, Just Disgusting!, Just Shocking!, Just Doomed! and a full length play script called Just Macbeth! based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth featuring characters from the JUST! series. First published in 1997, the series has been continuously in print and loved by Australian children and their parents for over 25 years.
