Barbie Young is an artist and author of books for children and adults. In the past, she's written for local newspapers and created a newsagency magazine for the MLM industry, MLM Australia and NZ. Now she's focused mostly on what comes so naturally to her... humour.

Her fun attitude and free personality have led her to realise her true niche - wordplay. Her children's books are filled with vibrant colour, alliteration, and rhyme, providing amusement for the adults reading them and the children being read to.

For the advanced readers, the Dinosaurs You Never Heard Of series will challenge their thinking skills and tickle their funny bones. Even adults will love the humorous wordplay in the dinosaur books.

Barbie's been having a little too much fun researching for 100 Coffee Dates, a novel based on real life. For adults only, it's a story about Magenta, who is looking for her Mr Right. It's more like a hundred hilarious short stories, and it has a blog for extra fun. If you subscribe, you'll be among the first to know when it launches! It has its own website at 100CoffeeDates.com

There's always something fun and new coming out of her never-ending creative spirit, so subscribe to be one of the first to see what she comes up with next.

Creating joy through art and storytelling.
