Meg McKinlay grew up in Bendigo, Victoria, in a book-loving, TV-
and car-free household. On the long and winding path to becoming a
children’s writer, she has worked a variety of jobs including swim
instructor, tour guide, translator and teacher. These days, she
lives with her family near the ocean in Fremantle and divides her
time between teaching and writing, a balance that swings wildly
between chaos and calm. She is always busy cooking up more books
and you can visit her on the web at www.megmckinlay.com
