More About the Author

Having failed at becoming a ballerina with pierced ears (her childhood dream), Allison Rushby instead began a writing career as a journalism student at The University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Within a few months she had slunk sideways into studying Russian. By the end of her degree she had learned two very important things: that she wasn't going to be a journalist; and that there are hundreds of types of vodka and they're all pretty good.

After several years spent whining about how hard it would be to write a novel, she finally tried writing one and found it was quite an enjoyable experience. Since then, she has had more then ten novels published.

In February 2012, Allison's Shooting Stars (YA) will be released with Walker Books. In June 2012, she will release a six episode New Adult e-serial with St Martin's Press.

In 2011/2012, Allison will be living in Cambridgeshire in the UK, where she is writing a travel memoir called Keep Calm and Carry Vegemite. She keeps up her education by sampling new kinds of vodka on a regular basis.

Crummy Mummy ... not Yummy Mummy? You're not alone. Read these stories and take heart. Witty, wise and great positive reinforcement for every Mummy who's ever gone through the experience of having their child refuse to take part in Gymboree, and lie on the floor sucking a mop instead. Loved it!

The column has lots of short stories and musings about life, kids and poo. They are organized in nice digestible chunks (no pun intended) so great for the iPhone for when you have a few minutes when you need a break from yet another angry birds level!
