Marcus Addison is an Australian author from a little place called The Shire. As a Masters student of Creative Writing at Sydney University he loves writing about many things, but almost always about trees. His dream is to cover the earth in green again. He was a kid once too, you know, and vowed never to grow up. So far so good! Now he is ‘not-so-little’ himself and has four children of his own. They are his inspiration now, and he believes it is this chosen generation (which is you), that will bring nature back into balance throughout the world. He is currently writing a middle-grade novel that is, no surprise, narrated by the trees. He hopes his broad life experience in finance, teaching and healthcare enriches his writing of people and nature.
