The author - Melinda Szymanik

Hey - thats me :) I'm a writer of fiction for children. My other work inlcudes short stories Drawing Horses, and That Summer (published in the School Journal by Learning Media NZ), Rush, and A Winter's Day in 1939 (in the Australian School Magazine published by the NSW Dept. of Education and Training). Rush also appeared in the anthology Dare and Double Dare (Random, 2007) and my story The Gift is in Short, an anthology published by Black Dog Books 2008. My novel Jack the Viking (Scholastic) has just been released and I am now at work on a YA novel.
