Peter J Shilkin lives in Perth, Western Australia and published his first book in August 2016 as an eBook.

This came about as he wished to write and illustrate a book for his daughters 1st birthday as a very special present for her. His daughter’s name is Wren. 

In his own childhood, he spent a lot of time writing stories for his English classes, in high school loved to write plays and enjoyed creative writing.  His mother and grandmother were also artists and Peter wondered if he ever had inherited the artistic gene.

Peter had a strong desire to find an outlet for these forms of creativity which he enjoyed so much when he was younger.

It wasn’t until the birth of his daughter (being his first child) that Peter found this avenue and led to The Wonderful World of Wren book idea and The Grimble Grumble Grimble.

The Grimble Grumble Grimble arose from his interactions with his daughter and was a term that popped into his head one day whilst playing with Wren. 

Peter has many other characters that he will write about that come from his interactions with his daughter as well as revisiting his childhood.
