Read About Me & Talk To Me

“Dianne Touchell is a middle child who feared Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy – and any other stranger who threatened to break into the house at night.  She has worked, among other things, as a nightclub singer, a fish and chip shop counter girl (not with Pauline Hanson) and a bookseller.  Dianne would rather talk to her dog than answer the phone.”

Welcome to my Blog!

We’ll just get this out of the way first: I really do hate Santa Claus.  For me, he’s right up there with clowns.  Here’s proof:

Need another Scotch Santa? 

I am a contemporary fiction/young adult author from Western Australia.   I once wrote a story in which the Tooth Fairy takes the whole child because there are clearly more teeth in her head than in the glass beside the bed.  (Okay, this is not therapy...let it go...)

My first novel, Creepy & Maud, was published by Fremantle Press in 2012.  In April 2013 it was shortlisted for the Children’s Book Council of Australia Award in theOlder Reader’s Category.  

I am available for author talks, writing workshops, and am currently working on my balloon animal skills. You can visit me on Facebook or contact me through the contact thingy below.

Thank you for stopping by my blog rather than popping in.
