Hi, I’m children's author, DC Nash. Thanks for stopping by.
I write stories full of quirky characters, unbelievable situations, and general funny stuff (well, I think I'm funny and I’m sticking with that).
From an early age I wanted to be an author. Growing up as an only
child, books filled my quiet moments (and there were many of those)
with imaginative worlds and fantastical protagonists. I was fortunate enough to have floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that I filled with Richard Scarry, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Paul Jennings, R.L. Stine, and just about anything I could get my hands on. Now I’m determined to turn that childhood dream into reality by creating stories that spark the same exhilaration and joy in others that I felt as a young reader.
Fun facts about me:
-
I live on 2.5 acres of bushland, Sydney.
-
I spent 5 years as a volunteer Girl Guides unit coordinator, and 5 years volunteering at a dog rescue shelter.
-
I am a qualified dog trainer but haven’t trained any dogs.
-
I was a professional belly dancer for 6 years.
-
I have some wicked cake decorating skills (if I do say so myself).
-
My favourite things are books, dogs, drinking cups of tea, eating cake, and writing
