Away With That Trials Bike

Denica Bowden is a children’s author from Weipa, a small, remote town in Far North Queensland, Australia. She obtained her dual degree in Applied Science and Education at the Queensland University of Technology but gave up her teaching career to become an electrician, though some would say she never stopped working with children. She was inspired to write after becoming a mother and found inspiration in her husband and son’s keen interest in motorbikes.
