Tim Tipene

picture book writer, profile published in BRAT, Winter 2001

I live in an old creaky house, next to the bush and overlooking the sea. I live with my best friends: a big fat, grey cat called Mr T; Lord Flashheart, the cheeky rooster who wakes me each morning; seven lovely ladies who gives me eggs for my breakfast; and Catherine, who has to read all of my stories.
I am a crazy creator, who loves to share his dreams. When the night is at its darkest and the wind is roaring through the trees, there I am, snug in bed, writing as fast as I can. During the day, I put on my Warrior suit and venture out to be with the Warrior Kids. The Warrior Kids and I play awesome games. We roll and cartwheel. We also share our good times and our not so good times.
