About the author

pen name of C.M. Simpson

I am a Canberra-based author who likes writing stories for young people. My stories can be scary, funny, spooky and strange, but that’s the way I like it. I hope you don’t mind. I like dinosaurs, aliens, dragons and drawing. I would rather write about imaginary lands and places, but sometimes the real world creeps into my head and won’t go away until I put it in a story. I think the real-world stories are the scariest of all. They are definitely the hardest to write.

[C.M. Simpson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wrote All Alone in the mid-1990s, but it wasn't right for the lines I was aiming for. I have edited, illustrated and formatted it, and published it in February 2013.
