From Scott Bevan, one of the Creators of White Ninja, comes "Under the Deck and Under Some Sticks..." - a touching story about a small child who befriends a dead cat that he finds under the deck. Written in rhyming verse in the style of Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein and Edgar Alan Poe, all morphed into one.
Bevan was born in 1964 and grew up near Merewether in Newcastle.
In 1984 Bevan joined The Newcastle Herald as a cadet journalist. He later worked in commercial radio as a news presenter. After a fifteen month stint in Japan he joined the Nine Network in 1989 as a reporter. He spent time in Perth working for Nine News.
Bevan moved to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 2005, working initially as reporter for the 7.30 Report and a presenter on ABC Local Radio. In 2008 he was posted to Moscow as a correspondent for ABC Television.
In 2010 Bevan returned to Australia to become a presenter on ABC News 24.
Scott lives in Sydney with his wife, Jo, and twin boys, Thomas and William - and his kayak, Pulbah Raider.
