Ken Spillman developed his imagination while playing games in the bushland on the edge of one of Australia’s most isolated cities, and by reading the adventures of Mark Twain. He now spends half of his time travelling, and is the author of more than thirty books. Ken’s work includes novels for teenagers, a picture book for all ages, titled The Strange Story of Felicity Frown, and the internationally successful Jake series. His book, Advaita the Writer, pays homage to Indian literary hero Ruskin Bond, while Radhika Takes the Plunge deals with an Indian girl overcoming her fears after migrating to Australia.
