Michael Springthorpe, the writer of Harriet’s Journal is from Australia (born in Sydney) and is presently living in the United States with his wife Kate. In A Frog and His Really Cool Sandals he tells a compelling tale (ably assisted by artist Enrique Aravena) set in an ethereal and other-worldly habitation. Two previous pieces, Eppie & Beppie and The Bones at Red 22 have been included in a new work The Xipodic which will debut in 2021. He is also working to complete the long-awaited sequel to Harriet’s Journal.
