Tas Courtenay

Natassia Frances Rebecca Louise Courtenay wrote her first story at the age of five, a spoof of Hans Christian Anderson’s

“The Princess and the Pea” titled, “The Prince and the Pebble”.

She has since written around thirty picture books, with twelve in a series titled, “The Adventures of the Walla Walla Bush”.

A middle-grade novel titled, “Lucy’s Christmas Wish” and a young adult novel titled, “The Many Colors of Love”.

Currently she is submitting, querying, writing, rewriting, editing and finishing up on her biggest project to date, a six-part young adult series novel titled, “For: Me—Love, Clare”.

When she’s not writing, she enjoys escaping to the beaches of south Florida, Puerto Rico or Australia’s Sunshine Coast and reliving the memories of her childhood summers, with weekend getaways to New Orleans, Louisiana and Pass Christian, Mississippi.

Tas co-hosts the Writing for Children Forum with Chris Bonnello.
