Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Darrin Mason and I am an Australian author who once drew cartoons for The Truth newspaper and People magazine. I also am an Australian Cartoon Award winner. I outgrew the cartoonist’s pen and turned to that of the author and while I outgrew the cartoonist’s pen I did not outgrow the cartoonist’s sense of humor. It seemed common sense then to bring that sense of humor with me into the world of books. I have written several parodies with many more to come.
