Philippa (aka Pip) lives on the Central Coast of NSW Australia, with her lovely husband and three – often lovely – children. She has experience teaching in primary, secondary and tertiary settings and currently teaches secondary English and lectures at the University of Newcastle. Her Great Aunty was an Olympian, her dad invented Pavlova Magic and in her spare time she paints pictures on the wall. 'Girl Detectives Just Wanna Have Fun' is Pip’s first novel.
