edit data

Australian Vanessa Barneveld lives in a 19th-century house in inner-city Sydney with a 21st-century husband, two eccentric cats and one ghost—all of whom provide inspiration for her spirited novels. In addition to her writing career, she’s part of a crack team that produces closed captions for deaf TV viewers and audio descriptions for the blind.

An avid traveler, she enjoys the journeys almost as much as the destinations. She freely admits to being food motivated and will stop at nothing to find the perfect hot chips wherever she roams around the world.

Vanessa and 1 other person liked Pintip Dunn's review of Superhero Cheerleaders From Outer Space: "Love this book so much! Utterly charming and laugh-out-loud funny. Cherry’s story was so much fun to read. I adored watching her and her friends experience Earth and Earthlings (especially of the cute boy variety) for the first time. "
