Jack Heath is the pen name of a bestselling and award-winning author. He has written more than twenty-seven action-packed books for kids and one disturbing crime novel for adults. His novels have been translated into six languages and adapted for film.
Jack fell in love with reading in primary school, when an ear infection left him unable to do much else. In high school he was frustrated by the slow pace and lack of excitement in most teenage fiction, so he started writing his own novel. It was picked out of a slush pile and published while he was still a teenager, and it soon became an international success.
In the course of his research, Jack has toured morgues and prisons, performed as a magician and travelled through eleven countries, including Russia. His enthusiastic presentations at schools and festivals have gotten thousands of kids hooked on reading. He lives on the land of the Ngunnawal people in Gunghalin, Australia.
