Hi Long and Short Reviews,

It’s an absolute pleasure to be here on your blog. Thanks for having me!

I’ve had quite an eclectic career in media and communications, working on a variety of projects both in Australia and abroad. When I’m not busy with work, you can find me hanging out with my family, friends, and furry companions. I’m a big fan of hitting the waves, going on bike rides with my kiddos, and soaking up the sun at the beach. I’m a firm believer in the importance of play and finding joy in the present moment.

But let’s be real, my life as a mum of three is anything but chill. My day kicks off with my littlest one and a steaming cup of joe. Coffee is my jam, my hug in a mug. I then proceed to wake up the rest of the little ones, feed the puppies and bunnies, and make school lunches. After a happy dance around the house, we’re off to school on our bikes (weather permitting, of course). Once I’ve put the baby down for his nap, it’s time to fire up the laptop and get to work. I run an online shop (check it out at www.patroosh.com.au) thanks to the success of my first children’s book, Patroosh, the Cheeky Pelican. I’m also busy with author visits to schools and speaking engagements at writer’s festivals throughout the year. Writing is my passion – it ignites me, makes my heart sing, and sets my soul in motion. So, you’ll find me scribbling down new ideas or using my trusty voice recorder on my phone to capture inspiration for my next books.

On top of all that, I run my own video production company called Mystery Lane Media.

I’ve always felt that life is too short to leave any stone unturned, so I work my butt off to make my dreams a reality. Being a mum is one of the coolest jobs ever! I love inspiring my little ones to dream big and to know that they can conquer anything they put their minds to. I feel like it’s my duty to show them that nothing is impossible and that they have the power to achieve their wildest dreams!

I’m thrilled to announce the release of my third children’s book, Tiny Green Unicorns.

Discover the secrets of the Tiny Green Unicorns and join a young girl on her quest to unravel the mysteries of these elusive creatures in this captivating story. Her journey teaches her the value of determination and the magic of imagination. With lively illustrations, this enchanting tale is sure to captivate young readers and leave them with a sense of wonder about the world around them. Plus, stay tuned for a surprising twist that will have everyone laughing!

Thank you again for featuring me on your blog. Happy reading!

Big hugs,
Renée

Have you ever seen a green unicorn?

Tiny green unicorns are really, really small. They might be the tiniest unicorns of all.

They are here every day, and if you keep searching for magic, you might even find one yourself today.

I am beyond thrilled to have my latest book in the Patroosh series, Patroosh, the Hungry Pelican, featured on your blog. I am excited to hear your thoughts on the latest adventure of these two lovable feathered friends.

Fun fact: Patroosh is actually based on a real pelican that my family and I interact with regularly, while Seamus was inspired by my children’s desire to keep the wildlife habitats clean. All the characterizations and illustrations for the Patroosh books are based on our own experiences and locations in my hometown of Yamba. My family and I spend a lot of time at the beach near a local boat ramp, which is the exact location that led to the inspiration for my first book, Patroosh, the Cheeky Pelican and it was from years of observing my own children’s hilarious interactions with the
local pelicans and seagulls that I found the humorous inspiration to bring these characters to life.

Along with my love for creativity, I have a background in communications and
commercial television. I am the founder of Mystery Lane Media, my own video
production company, and the creator of Patroosh.com.au, an online shop. When not busy creating content, I love spending time with my family, including our adorable pups and bunnies. We love our beach life, travelling, and, of course, story-time.

I absolutely love writing children’s books. The imaginative world that comes to life during story-time is truly magical. Hearing from families and classrooms who enjoy my books brings me pure happiness and gratitude.

It’s a dream come true to share my stories and bring happiness to others.
I hope you enjoy reading Patroosh, the Hungry Pelican, as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you know any fussy eaters, I hope this story sparks some fun conversations about their food preferences.

Thank you for featuring me on your blog, and happy reading!

Pancakes, milkshakes, fish and chips galore… Patroosh the hungry pelican will enjoy all four. Especially if there’s ketchup he can pour.

With Seamus the seagull by his side, always there to help decide.

Will these two feathered friends find what they want for lunch?

They’re feeling peckish and do enjoy a good munch.

What could be in store for diners today at their favourite marina café?

Enjoy an Excerpt

Patroosh, the pelican, and Seamus, the seagull, are bobbing along, paddling their feet and singing their boisterous bird song. SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAAAAAAAAWK.

Ah, this is the life,” bursts out Seamus with glee, then Patroosh does something funny, yelling,

“Look at me, look at me!
