Author Bio:
I was born in England and came to Australia with my parents in the Seventies. Shortly afterwards I was adopted by a stray dog, and that was that. Dogs have played a big part in my life ever since. I love them for their honesty, their faithfulness, and, yes, for their sense of humour too.
An element of every dog who has shared his life with me has been an inspiration for the characters in my Mutt to Megastar series. And I say “who” because I think of dogs as being an animal person, just as we humans are.
What I cared about most was making Elliott’s character believable. It’s important for readers to care about him, and to relate to his fear of being sent back to the Dog Pound believable. My wife and I have adopted quite a few rescue dogs, and they never forget the hard times they went through. It’s always there, just under the surface, no matter how much you love them and help them to feel secure. At the same time I wanted this to be a humorous story, and believable as told from the dog’s perspective. We humans are a funny, and sometimes, a weird lot, especially when we’re scheming, like my adman Jamie character. My years in the music and advertising industry gave me a good grounding for creating these characters and situations.
