Nope, not Freckle.

Frenkel. With an N.

But hey, I’ll answer to Freckle. Because freckles are kind of awesome.

I live in Melbourne in a yellow house, where I write lots of different things, including stories for kids.

I love: etymology (the archaeology of words), entomology (the study of insects), wordplay, playgrounds, and facts that are stranger (and more beautiful) than fiction.

My first picture book, Naturopolis, will be published by Storytorch Press in 2022. My second, The Sydney Harbour Fairy, will be out with Affirm in 2023.
