Kathy Littlemore is a full time author and bookworm and a part time world adventurer. A journey into the unknown saw the writer from Down Under in the Arctic, looking for polar bears in the wild. Her non fiction articles span diverse subjects including travel, fishing, photography and the share market. In a surprise move into fiction Kathy is writing children's picture books aimed at reluctant readers. The love of reading is a truly great gift. It would be sad if children miss out on the joy. Living in Australia with her husband and Dalmatian, Kathy is interested in social integration, small business, discovering the world through food and improving her photography skills. She was highly commended in the inaugural Australian Writer's Marketplace Essay Competition and was twice national runnerup in the Arthur Dennison Baking Industry Scholarship Awards for industry research.
