About the author

Tony Davis is a Sydney-based writer with a passion for sport - and for the quirky.

He has written a wide range of fiction and non-fiction, including the popular Roland Wright, Future Knight children's series, set in the Middle Ages; two children's books about cars, You Must Be Skidding! and Are You For Wheel?; and the bestselling Lemon! for adults.

When he is not putting words on paper (or screens), Tony is playing football or cricket in the backyard with his three sons, strumming a guitar, reading, hiking or listening to music on his stereo, iPod or hand-cranked '78 record player.
