Meet Jen Banyard, author of Spider Lies and Mystery at Riddle Gully:
Jen Banyard enjoys writing for younger audiences and draws from a childhood that consisted largely of mucking around in the Canning River and Indian Ocean. After editing non-fiction and dabbling in children’s literature for several years, she began postgraduate studies at UWA in 2005 to focus her creative writing.
Her fiction adventure, Spider Lies, was published by Fremantle Press in 2009, to wide acclaim.
Jen’s latest novel Mystery at Riddle Gully is as fast-paced and funny as her first book, packed with action, adventure, mystery, humour and false leads.
When there’s a lull she likes singing, travelling and generally splashing around.
