Australian Authors - Action & Adventure
Here's a list of the most common Questions and Answers with popular Aussie Authors (of action and adventure stories) to help other students with school assignments.
For more information about each author (including inside info about their books, pet peeves and favourite writing tips), click on an author's name.
Compiled and managed by the Kirby's Crusader Club, the student club committee would like to thank all participating authors for their valuable time and support in answering our questions, and to Anita Bell for hosting this FREE online resource for all librarians, teachers and students to share.
Please note: We have contacted all bestselling and popular Aussie authors that we could think of AND find contact details for. However, if we have missed one of your favourite action&adventure authors and would like to see them added to our database, please contact us HERE and we'll do the best we can.
Good luck with your assignments!
