Dianne (Di) Bates
Children’s Author
Di has authored many books for young readers including the prize-winning The Last Refuge which sold into Europe. She has won national and state awards for her books, and has edited Australian children’s magazines. Currently she compiles Buzz Words (The Latest Buzz on Children’s Books), an online magazine for people in the children’s book industry.
Di's latest book, her hundredth, Crossing the Line, published in August 2008 by Ford St, is a moving and sensitive story dealing with the topics of self-harm, obsession and stalking. Being abandoned is nothing new for Sophie. But things look up when she moves in with Amy and Matt. So how come she ends up in a psych ward? And aren't therapists supposed to help? 'Drama, pathos, nail-biting stuff – this is Dianne Bates at her best,' Margaret Clark. See the online review in January Magazine.
