Poppy Inkwell writes a lot of different things.
Stories.
Mandalas.
But not Christmas cards ... or not very often.

When she’s not at her desk writing, you will find her ferreting in car boot sales, experimenting with food gastronomy, or playing with her camera.

Born in the Philippines, she now lives by the beach in Australia with one husband, two of her children and four pets (May They Rest In Peace).

She has sky-dived once.

Poppy Inkwell has written three books in her new Alana Oakley series. Alana Oakley: Mystery and Mayhem is out now, Alana Oakley: Torment and Trickery is out in July, and the third, Alana Oakley: Bloodlust and Blunders is to be released early in 2016.

Proudly Pinoy!

A Filipino and a European are taking a ride inside an elevator.

The elevator opens and another Filipino enters, asking, "Bababa ba?"(Is it going down?)

The other Filipino replies, "Bababa."(Yes, it's going down.)

The European looks confused and asks both of them: "Are you guys speaking a real language?"

“You ready, then?” Maddie asked her friend with a meaningful look. It was hard to say exactly what she was referring to. Ready for what? School? New friends? Life? In the mood Alana was in, she felt ready for anything … except maybe algebra.”
Poppy Inkwell, Alana Oakley: Mystery and Mayhem

“Because, as any English-speaking tourist will tell you, if you speak slow enough, loud enough, and maintain good eye contact, eventually they’ll understand.”

Poppy Inkwell, Alana Oakley: Mystery and Mayhem
