Bec Timmis left high school and studied animation at Griffith University’s Queensland College of Art before branching out into design and illustration. 

At the same time, she enrolled in a professional children’s writing course, where she wrote her first award-winning short story.

From here she went on to write and illustrate the hugely popular book series, Mertales with Allen and Unwin Books.  And, she’s popped in today to chat all about her new series of hilarious books, and let me just say, book one is absolutely JAWSOME!
