About the Author

Tony Wilson is the author of eight books, three for adults and five picture books. Since 1998, he has written articles and opinion columns for The Age, the Good Weekend, Wisden, Lonely Planet and Inside Sport. His first novel, Players (Text Publishing, 2005), earned him the accolade of SMH Best Young Australian Novelist 2006 . A true satire, Players is a comic novel with a black heart, investigating the very recognisable themes of out-of-control sporting celebrity and the dominating hand of the media. Tony is himself an ex-listed AFL footballer, having spent just a year at Hawthorn in 1992, but now he is equally passionate about round ball football. His conversion was captured in his classic sporting memoir Australia United (GSP, 2006), a hilarious, passionate, and sometimes tear-jerking account of his travels around World Cup, Germany, 2006. His follow up novel, Making News (Murdoch Books, 2010), is about a recently retired Socceroos and Premier League star who is lured into a tabloid generated sex scandal. He s also written five picture books. His latest, The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas, was a CBCA Notable Book for 2010.
