Miss Mae's Saturday

Justine Flynn lives in Sydney’s inner west with her two dogs, three goldfish, four children and her husband. Justine grew up in a large family and was always known for daydreaming. She lived near the beach, and until the age of eight she was convinced she was part-mermaid. As a kid, Justine loved stories, reading and role play. As a grown-up, Justine still loves stories and works to bring ideas and characters to life as a producer, director and writer in film and TV. Justine has always wanted to write children’s books and lists reading as one of three essential daily ingredients to ensure a happy childhood (a belly laugh and a boogie are the other two!). Miss Mae was inspired by imaginary adventures with her own children.
