We had some chooks who used to range freely in our backyard, and when it was time to lock them up for the night we often found one of them up a tree or trying to scale the fence. It started me thinking what this chook was trying to do - was she wanting to get into space or something? So the idea of a chook who wants to be an astronaut came to me and 'Zelda's Big Adventure' was born.

I'm working on a science fiction novel and another picture story book.

I don't usually get writer's block, but when I do, I don't worry about it; I might go for a walk and just pay attention to what's going on around me. You'd be surprised how many fascinating stories are happening all around you when you stop and notice.

Read, read, read.
