Ireland, Lucinda

I'm an Aussie author based in Melbourne. I love writing for kids but when I'm not writing I teach swimming and am a teachers' aide because I love being in water and reading - just not at the same time! I have a Diploma in Library and Information Services. I have worked as a teachers' aide for three years and a swimming instructor for ten years. My household has too many pets; I blame it on my kids. I have two chickens, two guinea pigs, one cat and one Fighting Fish. I also love cooking, cake decorating, swimming and watching funny movies.
