"Missile Annie/Whinging William" will remind you what it's like to be young or to be living with and around young children. The poems combine to build a picture of the 3 1/2 year old Annie and the 4 year old William as different members of the Cadgee Road (real road) community (not necessarily real people) write about them.
The whimsical illustrations by Melbourne artist Jody Pratt complement the poems and change the moods of the characters with no more than a quick flick of brush or pencil! [Graphic Design by Mikaela Jago.]

"Three Cornered Hat" my adult poetry (bordering on PG in places - mostly for adult themes!) Full of comedy, tragedy drama and silliness, hopefully "Three Cornered Hat" will strike a chord with many readers.
It consists of three separate anthologies - "The Way To Dusty Death", "A Lesser Life" focussing upon my health battles and finally "The Word Mugger".[Graphic Design by Mikaela Jago.]

"Simon Said" - Simon has many skills but he also has one major fear: he is frightened of heights! Who can he call upon to help him find courage? Why, Courage himself! Arran McKenna has brought this story to life brilliantly and provided Simon with the strength to overcome any problem!
